Dorcas Armitage Montgomery to Benjamin Franklin, November 17, 1781

Geneva 17th. Novr. 1781.

Honor’d Sir

Upon my Arrival here I had the pleasure of finding Mastr. Bache in good Health as is Mastr. Jonnot, 1 & Monsieur Marignac, who my son goes too to morrow. I have had the pleasure of seeing Madame Cramer, a very Lovely woman who has paid every attention to the Letter you was so Kind to give me for Her. 2 She has procured a pension for me which I purpose going to in a Day or two. Mastr. Bache is at present in the Country at Madame Cramer’s— Her son 3 goes to the same pension that your’s does from all the information I can procure, this undoubtedly is a very proper place for Education, and I flatter myself that our son’s will receive every wish’d for Improvement.— Please to forward the inclos’d my Compliments attend Mr. T. Franklin, who I hope ere this, is intirely recover’d of His indisposition.— 4 Mastr. Montgomerys respectful Compliments attend you (and the above Gentleman) with a thousand thanks for your Kindness, in which I join him, and remain Honor’d sir your Obliged Hble Servt.

Dorcas Montgomery
