Benjamin Rush to Benjamin Franklin, January 23, 1781

Philada Jany 23rd. 1781.

Dr Rush’s most respectful compliments to his venerable father, and friend Benjamin Franklin Esqr &c and begs the favor of him to forward the enclosed letters to the persons to whom they are addressed.— He has left one of them open for the Doctors perusal—in which he will see that the good old cause continues to flourish under the auspices of heaven and our good ally the king of France. 6
