Passy, Nov. 8. 1781

Sir,

The Bearer, Mr Fox, is a young Gentleman of Philadelphia, Son of one of my old Friends, and otherwise well recommended to me by some of the principal People of that Place. I beg leave to present him to your Excellency, and to request for him your Counsels, Civilities and Protection, of which I am persuaded you will find him deserving. 4 With great Respect, I have the honour to be Your Excellency’s most obedient and most humble Servant

B Franklin

His Excellency John Adams Esqr
