From Jonathan Williams, Jr.

ALS: American Philosophical Society

Nantes March 12 1778.

Dear and honored Sir,

As Mr. Chaumonts Servant is here I embrace the opportunity to convey to you two of your Bankers Books which I found among my papers.

I impatiently wait to hear from you relative the subject of my last.

I have no news but am very respectfully and affectionately Your dutifull kinsman

J Williams

I have not yet a word from Mr. Chaumont—is it not surprising?
