From [Turgot]
Saturday, October 3, [1778]

Madame Helvetius has requested that I ask you if you will be free next Saturday the 10th to go to Mr. De St. Lambert's with her. If you are not free, she requests that you inform me of the first time you will be so that she can suggest that date to Mr. De St. Lambert. I will be sure to inform her of your answer. Rest assured of my devotion to you.

Addressed : To Monsieur / Monsieur Franklin / Minister Plenipotentiary / of the United States/ In Passy.
