From Josef Niclas Reichsgraf Windisch-Grätz

To Benjamin Franklin

March 3, 1785

Josef Niclas Reichsgraf Windisch-Grätz writes to Benjamin Franklin in 1785 expressing surprise that the copies of his work he sent, in Latin and German, have not reached Franklin, suspecting the package was opened or delayed by customs. He requests Franklin to inform him if the copies arrive soon and explains his plan to publish a French version with clarifications once academic institutions agree to review his writings.
