Nicolas Richard to Benjamin Franklin, March 2, 1783
Nicolas Richard sends Benjamin Franklin a poem celebrating peace, including a suppressed stanza he believes truthfully praises Franklin's role in defending American rights and restoring liberty. He respectfully requests Franklin's judgment on his enthusiasm and seeks his protection as he completes his final year of philosophical studies. Richard expresses deep admiration and hopes his tribute conveys sincere esteem.
