Monsieur the General Lieutenant of the Police will preside over the inauguration of the School of Baking, on Thursday the 8th of this month, at 11 o'clock exactly, at 1 rue de la grande Truanderie. M. Parmentier and I will give a speech on the benefits of this establishment. You would flatter us and honor the occasion if you would please attend. We will record in the public registers of the school that Monsieur Franklin honored its opening with his presence. I have given Monsieur le Noir the hope of having the pleasure to meet you there; I promised him at least to make every effort to obtain this favor from you.

I am with the deepest respect, Monsieur, Your very humble and obedient servant
