Benjamin Franklin to Ebenezer Hazard, December 26, 1783

Passy, Dec. 26. 1783.—

Sir,

I am desired by the General Post Office of Great Britain to recommend to your Consideration a Sketch of an Advertisement respecting the Packet Boats, which they think it may be useful to publish. 2 You will do in it what you think proper. Perhaps you have already done what is necessary. As I was formerly long connected with that Office, & have Friends in it, if I can be of use in forwarding any Arrangements you have to propose for the Benefit of yours, you may command freely Sir, Your most obedient Servant 3

B Franklin

Ebenezer Hazard Esqr Postmaster General
