Félix Frecon to Benjamin Franklin, June 29, 1784
Félix Frecon requests Benjamin Franklin's expertise to accurately describe the currencies and exchange practices between France and the United States for a treatise on international trade. He seeks detailed information on American coinage, accounting units, established exchange rates, and commercial customs to improve his work and support Franco-American economic relations. Frecon acknowledges Franklin's role in American independence and aims to aid France's integration into global commerce.
