From Katherine French

My dear Sir

I return you my Thanks for the unquestionable proof you have given of your approbation, of the Work I sent you. I made my friend extremely happy in shewing your Letter to him. When I am in possession of the other 5 sets Will dispatch them to your House.4 I was unwilling my friend Miss Jennings’s civil acknowledgement of your kind favor, should wait a moment,5 therefore hope you will forgive the present trouble. Am with the utmost esteem your obliged and very humble Servant

Kath. French

Addressed: To / Doctor Franklin.
