Jonathan Williams, Jr. to William Temple Franklin (unpublished)
Nantes July 26. 1781.
Dear Billy

I sent you last post a Specimen of the Improvements I have made in the copying Business. I find my Paper goes away very fast please therefore not to forget me when you order more.—Pray send me also the Receipe to make the Ink so as I may not be in want when what I have is all used. I think some of the thinnest Paper in Paris may answer for the present pray by me a Ream in folio & another in quarto of such as you think will answer. Send it to M. Durand neveau Libraire Rue galand Hotel de Lessiville with orders to forward it in the first Bale he sends to Madame V De Bruyne Litsaire here.—

I beg your Pardon for the trouble & am as ever. Yours affectionately

Jona Williams J

Pray send my seals at same Time if they are done
