Benjamin Franklin to Robert Morris, August 29, 1775

Brunswick, Augt. 29. 1775

Dear Sir,

Understanding since I came hither that 4 Waggon Loads of Gunpowder for New York, which had been landed at the Neversinks, pass’d thro’ here last Friday, I have dispatch’d an Order to our Waggoner, whom I pass’d yesterday at Trenton, to return back with the Ton we spar’d, since it will not be wanted at New York, and may be wanted with us. I hope our Committee will approve of this. 6 If not I ought to pay the Expence. With great Esteem, I am Sir, Your most obedient Servant

B Franklin
