From Jean-Baptiste Le Roy (unpublished)
Thursday morning

M. Le Roy is honored to send his respects to M. Franklin and to remind him that it is today, around four o'clock, that the committee appointed by the academy will come to see his instrument. M. Le Roy received a letter from the chevalier d'Arcy requesting that he recall him to M. Franklin's memory and to tell him how attached he is to him.
