522 Letters from Benjamin Franklin 



To Mme. Brillon. [Circa 1779.] 



Sends her the little pieces she asked for. The one on " The Game 

 of Chess " should be dedicated to her, as the best piece of advice in 

 it was suggested by her magnanimous way of playing. His grandson 

 has seen the hotel recommended by her, finds it too magnificent for him 

 and his household. Is very sorry it does not suit him, as he would have 

 liked being nearer to her. A. Dr. of L. i p. XLVI(i), 49.

Requests him to send Mr. [Jonathan] Williams [Jr.]'s letter that
