Benjamin Franklin to Ezra Stiles, June 2, 1757

New York, June 2. 1757

Dear Sir,

Having waited here near Eight Weeks for a Passage to England, we are at length told we shall certainly sail tomorrow.

For your Amusement I enclose you a Copy of a Letter I lately sent to a philosophical Friend in Carolina. 6 I shall not forget your Thermometer, 7 and shall be glad to hear from you when in England. I am, Dear Sir, with great Esteem, Your most obedient Servant

B Franklin
