Joseph-Bernard, marquis de Chabert, requests an appointment with Benjamin Franklin to read a paper related to a subject of mutual interest before its publication in the 1783 Academy of Sciences history volume. He proposes meeting on January 17 or another convenient day and mentions that President Täscher, his brother-in-law, will accompany him. Chabert asks for a prompt reply.
