Ben Franklin was friends with John Jay, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson to name a few. He was one of the people who gave advice to Jefferson on the Declaration of Independence. Adams and Franklin often wrote to each other as well. Adams once wrote that Franklin was a "great and good man." While Franklin was in France he was very popular with the French court and did like to party. It has been noted he was cordial but aloof in his ways and he had no personal worries about money so he wasn't frugal. He rode in an elegant carriage and loved to entertain although his use of French was poor. It has been reported by Adams that he sat in social gatherings, looking benevolently with a glass of champagne rarely saying anything. He thought his misuse of French was part of his charm to the French.
