From the Duc de La Rochefoucauld
Monday morning [on or after October 12, 1778]

The Duc de la Rochefoucauld is honored to give his regards to Monsieur Franklin and send him a letter that he believed appropriate to write to Captain Jones in order to inform him of his conversation with M. de Sartine; the letter is open, and Monsieur Franklin is asked to please read it.

The Duc de la Rochefoucauld will take great pleasure in seeing Monsieur Franklin again in three weeks, and from now until then, he wishes him the arrival of good news.
