Benjamin Franklin to Samuel Preston Moore, February 21, 1761

London, Feb. 21, 1761

Dear Sir

I wrote to you per Capt. Calef, via New-York, that I had receiv’d yours 8 with a Copy of the Act that I had put it into the Hands of our Solicitor Mr. Eyre, and would do what I could to forward it. 9 But the Copy you sent me not being under Seal, we could not present it; and were oblig’d to wait Mr. Penn’s Leisure, who had the regular Copy in his Hands. By the enclos’d Notes you will see what Progress has been made. 1 I shall defray all necessary Expences as you desire; 2 being with great Regard, Dear Sir, Your most obedient humble Servant

B Franklin

To S. P. Moore, Esqr
