Jonathan Jr Williams to Benjamin Franklin, April 20, 1779

Nantes April 20. 1779.

Dear & hond. Sir.—

The two Boxes for Mr Watson came to hand a few days since and I shall embrace the first opportunity to Ship them. 4 I would do it by the Alliance if I could, but Capt Landais does not think himself justifiable in taking any Goods, Types however (being of public Utility,) may perhaps be an exception.— 5

I am Dear & hond Sir Most dutifully & respectfully yours

Jona Williams J

The Hon. Doctor Franklin
