Benjamin Franklin to William Strahan, February 4, 1748

Philada. Feby. 4. 1747,8

Dear Sir

Enclos’d is a second Bill for £19 7 s. 1½ d. Sterling. The first I sent you some time since. 2 Mr. Hall will write, tho’ neither of us have much Time, the Vessel hurrying away for fear of the Ice. I shall soon send you more Bills. With my best Respects to Mrs. Strahan, in which my Dame joins, and hearty Wishes for the Welfare of you and yours, I am, Dear Sir, Your obliged Friend and most humble Servant

B Franklin
