Dear & hond Sir

I have recved your Favour of the 10th Inst. & set down to answer your Questions about M Mercier in the order you have written them.—

No.1.There is realy a Bala due to him on the accot he
gave in to me which I should have paid him if he
had returned to his Duty. The Law may perhaps
intitle him to it now but I don't think he deserves
it— £316.
No.2
3
4
5
6
7
All these Expences that ought to have been paid
have been long since settled. If M Mercier has paid
them again it is own Fault.—
I don't understand this, having had nothing to [do?]
in sending one of these men to Boston as I can
remember.—

As to my Letters of 5 Feb & Augt 27. I don’t think them any honorable Testimonies for Mercier & wonder he should produce them— I am in haste most respectfully Hond Sir Your dutifull & affec Kinsman

Jona Williams J

The Hon. Dr. Franklin.
