{"value"=>"Criticises, guardedly and without mentioning names, the American commissioners in Paris; Ralph Izard gives too much attention to social life; public business would suffer if he were left alone here; he and Arthur Lee were in constant opposition to Franklin; does not know the truth about Lee's speculation in English funds; his is a character that should be watched; thinks the French minister and consul to the United States have been prejudiced against Franklin; speaks of Silas Deane; asks Adams to use this letter with discretion, and for the public good."}
