I have taken the liberty of desiring Messieurs Féger and Gramont of Bourdeaux to send me a parcel of wine addressed to your care.

3010From Thomas Jefferson to Madame de Corny, 30 June 1787 (Jefferson Papers)
On my return to Paris, it was among my first attentions to go to the rue Chaussée d’Antin No. 17. and enquire after my friends whom I had left there. I was told they were in England.

But be just to your own nation....
