Benjamin Franklin to Gabriel Johonnot, December 20, 1782

Passy, Dec. 20. 1782

Sir,

I have this Day drawn on you for 1026 Livres 3 Sols & 6 deniers, being what I have lately paid for your Son’s Education to the 5th of October last. Another Quarter will be soon due. He is a fine Youth, and I make no doubt but his Improvements are more than equal to the Expense. You will be pleas’d to honour the Bill, 3 and transmit a Fund for defraying future Charges, which will oblige.

Sir, Your most obedient & most humble Servt

B Franklin

Col. Johonnot
