Benjamin Franklin to Edmund Burke, December 15, 1781

Passy, Dec. 15. 1781

Sir,

I did myself the honour of writing to you about two Months since. I have not heard whether that Letter was receiv’d; and being told that a Packet Boat was lost about that time, 1 I fear it miscarried, and therefore send a Copy. 2 With great Respect, I am, Sir, Your most obedient and most humble Servant,

B. Franklin

Edmd. Burke Esqr
