Joshua Barney to Benjamin Franklin, December 19, 1783

From Joshua Barney
To Benjamin Franklin
December 19, 1783

Joshua Barney informs Benjamin Franklin that he has shipped three barrels and a box of seeds to Rouen and expresses gratitude for Franklin's offer of assistance, which he declines due to his limited time and responsibilities with his ship. He also mentions lacking the nuts Franklin referred to but offers to bring some on his next voyage. Barney closes with respectful regards.
