Passy, 15 December, 1781.

Dear Sir:—

I thank you for informing me of your intended journey. You know so well the prevailing sentiments here, and mine in particular, that it is unnecessary for me to express them; and, having never been believed on that side of the water, it would be useless. I will say, however, that I think the language you mention very proper to be held, as it is the truth; though the truth may not always be proper. ^{Ref. 022}

Wishing you a good voyage and happy return to your children, I am, with great esteem, dear sir, yours, etc.,

B. Franklin.
