Benjamin Franklin to Charles-Guillaume-Frédéric Dumas, November 8, 1781

Passy, Nov. 8. 1781

Dear Sir,

It is long since I have had the Pleasure of hearing from you. 8 I hope your Health continues.

If Mr Fox, to whom I give this Line, should visit the Hague, I recommend him warmly to your Civilities. He is a Gentleman of good Character, and for whom I have a great Regard, not only as an American and the Son of an old Friend, but for his personal Merit.

With much Esteem, I am ever, Dear Sir, Your affectionate Friend and humble Servant

B Franklin

M. Dumas.
