Benjamin Franklin to Antoine-Alexis-François Cadet de Vaux, February 5, 1784
Benjamin Franklin informs Antoine-Alexis-François Cadet de Vaux that illness and harsh weather prevent him from traveling to Paris but invites him to visit Passy to see a coal-burning stove he has installed. Franklin requests assistance in obtaining coal and sends a sample of bread made partly with Turkish wheat flour, along with a recipe, suggesting it be tested at the baking school.
