68166To Benjamin Franklin from Jan Ingenhousz, 28 June 1777 (Franklin Papers)
ALS : American Philosophical Society It seems all your lettres miscarry in a certain way. Your last favour of the 26 of April came only to my hands a few days ago after having passed thro Vienna and a great part of the German Empire. I am still at Tissingen in Suabia upon the estate of the Prince de la Tour et Tassis , whose two sons I have succesfully inoculated. I intend to set out from here...

68170To Benjamin Franklin from Jan Ingenhousz, 5 October 1778 (Franklin Papers)
ALS : American Philosophical Society You will be surprised, that I did not keep my word or reather my resolution to come over to Paris.
