Benjamin Franklin to Jonathan Williams, April 21, 1764

Philada. April 21. 1764

Loving Kinsman

I have received yours of the 12th Inst. 5 As to the Mistake I mention’d, I find on Revisal that it was not in your Account but in my Eyes, which mistook one Figure for another.

I wrote to you from Burlington that I should pay your Order in favour of Robinson as soon as I return’d to Town, which I accordingly did. The Sum £47 15 s. 4 d. 6

I should be glad to know what Sum your Government has paid for the Bounty on Wheat last Year, if you can get at it easily. 7

It grieves me that the Glasses are not yet come for the Armonica. 8 How does Cousin Josiah 9 go on with his Spinnet? But I make no doubt he improves very fast.

We all join in Love to you and all yours. I am Your affectionate Uncle

B Franklin
