RICHARD OSWALD TO B. FRANKLIN.
Paris, September 24th, 1782.
Sir,
Having received, by a courier just now arrived, a letter from Mr Secretary Townshend, in answer to mine, which went by the messenger, despatched from hence on the 12th, I take this opportunity of Mr Whiteford to send you a copy of it. I hope he will bring good accounts of your health, which I sincerely wish, and am your Excellency's, &c.
RICHARD OSWALD.
