To Vergennes (unpublished)
Passy, Oct. 18. 1784.
Sir,

I was much obliged by the Readiness with which your Excellency favour’d my Request of a Sauf Conduit for Mr. Bondfield, and I beg you to accept my thankful Acknowledgements. Permit me to ask another Favour of the same kind for my Nephew Mr. Williams, who I am confident will make Use of it for the Advantage of his Creditors. With great and sincere Respect, I am, Sir, Your Excellency’s most obedient and most humble Servant

B. Franklin

His Excellency the Count de Vergennes.
