Pierre Samuel du Pont de Nemours requests Benjamin Franklin's assistance in obtaining the death certificate of Adam Marggrander, a subject of the Margrave of Baden who reportedly drowned in Philadelphia. Du Pont conveys the Margrave's gratitude in advance and expresses eagerness to discuss American commerce with Franklin. Franklin notes his intention to ask Mr. Thomson to help fulfill this request.
