Benjamin Franklin to George W. Morgan, July 14, 1773

London, July 14. 1773

Sir,

I received yours of May 4. inclosing one for Mr. Wharton. 4 I sent it to him, requesting that he would let me know what I should write to you upon it. He call’d upon me soon after, and assur’d me, that tho’ there had been some Misunderstanding with Regard to the Partners, [the] Aff[ection be]tween him and Mr. Baynton, [ torn ] thinking they could much better be settled [ torn ] forborn to write about, yet his Inte[ntion had invariably?] been to do every thing that should be de[cided upon? torn ] as both you and Mr. B Family would be [ torn. ] I condole with you on the Loss of that good Man; and am Sir, Your most obedient Servant
