Letter
Le Couteulx & Cie to Benjamin Franklin, July 3, 1784
Le Couteulx & Cie informs Benjamin Franklin that a shipment of tobacco from Virginia, sent by Mr. Morris as part of funds owed to the United States, has been sold to a merchant after local farmers declined to pay the asking price. They offer to prioritize farmers for any remaining tobacco if they agree on a fair price, noting the scarcity and rising price of tobacco in America.
