Benjamin Franklin to Deborah Franklin, December 24, 1767

London, Dec. 24. 1767.

My dear Child,

I wrote you largely by this Packet, 1 but omitted mentioning two Things I want you to send me per first Ships, for two of my Friends here. One is, Miller’s German Newspapers 2 for two or three Months back; and to be continued. The other a Lump of that Sort of Stone we make Steps and Cheeks 3 of Cellar doors of, at Philadelphia. Your Care in these Particulars will greatly oblige Your ever loving Husband
