Benjamin Franklin to Jean-Baptiste Luton Durival, July 24, 1782

Passy, July 24. 1782

Sir,

Being much oppress’d by the Heat of this Weather, I dare not attempt the Journey to Versailles. I therefore send my Grandson, who will affix my Seal to the Instruments, and bring that which appertains to me. I am to request at the same time that you would give Directions to the Tresor Royal, &c, for Returning to me all the Promises I have heretofore given for the Sums now compris’d in the Instrument. 9 With great and sincere Esteem, I have the honour to be Sir, Your most obedient and most humble Servant

B Franklin
