Benjamin Franklin to Benjamin Vaughan, January 19, 1783

Passy. Sunday morng. Jan. 19. 83.

My dear Friend,

I should have been at Versailles this Morning as you desired, 6 tho’ I had no clear Conception, from what you said to me, how my going could be of Use; but late last Night I received a Note from M. de V. [Vergennes] which postpones the Interview till tomorrow at 10 aClock. Your Brother 7 tells me that you would have come out here to day if you had not imagined I should be at Versailles. I dine at home without Company, and shall be glad of yours; being ever Yours most affectionately

B Franklin
