Letter
Patience Wright to Benjamin Franklin, April 28, 1783
Patience Wright informs Benjamin Franklin that she has spoken with his son and observes that British Parliament remains divided over Loyalist claims to the King, with political factions deceiving each other to delay justice. She notes the King fears accountability, causing delays in policy decisions, and emphasizes that nothing will be settled until Franklin visits. Wright expresses support for Loyalists’ claims and hopes for fair treatment amid ongoing political uncertainty.
