Philada. June 7. 1756

Dear Kinsman

I send you per Capt. Morton 6 20 Reams whited Brown Paper, and 10 of blue. Please to acquaint Mr. Langdon 7 of it; I think that is the Gentleman’s Name who wrote to me for some of both Sorts, but I have mislaid his Letter. 8 He wanted it for Packing Sperma-Ceti Candles. The Price of the brown you know; the blue is 1¼ Dollar per Ream. Credit my Account with the Money he pays you. 9

Pray let me hear how Germantown Affairs go on. Particularly the Fishery and Glass house. 1 My love to your Wife and Children, I am, Your affectionate Uncle

B Franklin
