Denis-Jean-Florimond de Langlois de Mautheville, chevalier Du Bouchet to Benjamin Franklin, March 17, 1783
Colonel DuBouchet writes to Benjamin Franklin from Paris in 1783 to convey the good health of Franklin's family and friends in Philadelphia and to request a meeting to introduce Major General Beville. He reminds Franklin of his previous service as a lieutenant colonel of American riflemen and expresses hope for continued cordial relations following the British surrender at Yorktown. DuBouchet awaits Franklin's reply to arrange the visit.
