To Vergennes (unpublished)
Passy Novr. 6. 1782.
Sir,

I wonder much that your Excellency has received no Letters by our Packet Boat. There were some for M. De Castries and M. de Segur. I enclose what News I have which is not in the News papers. Those will have informed you of the Unhappy Loss of the Eagle, and saving of the Money etc.

I am with great Respect Sir, Your Excellency’s most obedient and most humble Servant

B Franklin

His Excellency le Comte de Vergennes.
