Benjamin Franklin to Charles Norris, June 12, 1755

Thursday morning [June 12, 1755]

Sir

Please to send me One hundred and Fifty Pounds on Account of the Committee. 3 It should be Paper Money, as it is to go up to Mr. James Wright: 4 and Paper will be the best Carriage. Some of it may be in the new Bills. The Post goes in an Hour. Let Jemmy 5 bring it, if you please, as my Niece 6 can hardly stay the Counting.

Yours affectionately

B. Franklin

To Mr. Charles Norris
