TO M. DUMAS.
Paris, April 10th, 1778.
Sir,
The within letter to you is so written, that you may show it on occasion. We send enclosed a proposed draught of a letter to the Grand Pentionary, but as we are unacquainted with forms, and may not exactly have hit your idea with regard to the matter and expression, we wish you would consult with our friends upon it, and return it with the necessary corrections.
B. FRANKLIN,
ARTHUR LEE,
JOHN ADAMS.
