From Le Roy
[after February 18, 1779?]

My illustrious doctor, I hope that your gout has mostly gone away, at least I wish it, and that we will have the pleasure of seeing you tomorrow; just send me a word so that I may count on the pleasure of seeing you as well as Monsieur your grandson. Adieu, my illustrious doctor, one could not be more passionately attached to you than I am, for life

Le Roy

Addressed: To Monsieur / Monsieur Franklin / Plenipotentiary Minister of / The United States of America / in Passy
