Benjamin Franklin to William Strahan, July 19, 1751

Philadelphia, July 19, 1751

Dear Sir,

This serves to cover the enclosed 3 and recommend the affair to your care. I have assured the gentlemen concerned that you will serve them as well and cheap as any bookseller in London. They are men of ability, and will be constant customers.

We are all well, and join in the most cordial salutations to you, Mrs. Strahan, and your children. I am, dear sir, yours affectionately,

B Franklin
