Benjamin Franklin to Jacques Leveux, March 8, 1784
Benjamin Franklin thanks Jacques Leveux for retrieving goods belonging to John Jay and for caring for escaped American prisoners from England. He requests an account of expenses to reimburse Leveux and approves his refusal to assist certain self-proclaimed Americans. Franklin clarifies that consul appointments are decided by Congress, but suggests Leveux's services may favor his nomination if one is made for the city.
