Letters from Benjamin Franklin 519

 expenses. A. Dr. of L. i p. XIII, 170a. 



To [Gioanni De Bernard!, Turin. 1779. March.]

 neither advise nor encourage him to go thither, A. Dr. of L. i p. 



XIII, 209a. 



To Samuel Marcel [Berne. 1779. March.] 



The army is full ; with a small capital he might succeed in com-

 L. I p. XIII, i66a. 



To [John Rosseaux. 1779. March.]
