No - Francis second of Austria, Ferdinand of Spain. Yes Washington and Franklin" “I should resume the description of the brilliant and varied festivities which the inhabitants of Philadelphia offered the Nation’s Guest, during the eight days we passed among them (...) and notwithstanding all the pleasure I should have had in speaking of the masonic diner, the civic ball, the visit of the general Lafayette to the arsenal, and navy yard, the party at general Cadwallader’s etc. (...) One was drank to Greece regererated, wishing her a Washington for a leader, and a Lafayette for a friend" (Levasseur, Lafayette in America, I, pp. 141 à 159)
