of her death; but there is reason to suppose that they are both
mistaken.]

roof of Madame Helvetius. It is the former who has preserved the
interesting extract from the letter of Franklin. Nobody who has visited
the Imperial Library at Paris can forget the very pleasant autograph
note of Franklin in French to Madame Helvetius, which is exhibited in
the same case with an autograph note of Henry IV. to Gabrielle
d'Estrees.]

Chastellux to Professor Madison on the Fine Arts in America, where the
generous Frenchman recommends for all our great towns a portrait of
Franklin, "with the Latin verse inscribed in France below his portrait."
