Farmers General to Benjamin Franklin, July 17, 1783
The Farmers General remind Benjamin Franklin of an outstanding debt of 846,770 livres owed by the United States from a loan of one million livres, originally to be repaid in tobacco shipments. They request Franklin to settle the account now that the David lease has expired and the war has ended, suggesting the debt could be paid in tobacco as initially agreed. They emphasize the urgency of concluding this financial matter following the peace.
