Benjamin Franklin to Charles Gravier, comte de Vergennes, February 26, 1784

Passy, Feby. 26. 1784

Sir,

Mr. Williams 1 desiring no farther Surseance against the Bulk of his Creditors with whom he has amicably arranged his Affairs, and to whom he proposes to do exact Justice, I the more willingly join my Request with his, that he may be secured against the small Number remaining, who aim at forcing him to favour them to the Prejudice of the others.— 2 I am with great Respect, Sir, Your Excellency’s most obedient & most humble Servant.

B Franklin

His Exy. Count de Vergennes.—
