1. One other letter from Dr. MacMahon survives from the period of this volume, addressed to WTF on Dec. 25, 1783. It enclosed a letter that a certain Nantes merchant (whom he calls M. Nanty) had written to MacMahon’s friend George Woulfe, who forwarded it in hopes that BF could be of assistance. MacMahon says that he had told BF about the “poor man’s” situation “several months ago.” APS.
