Benjamin Vaughan to Benjamin Franklin, June 16, 1783

London, June 16, 1783.

My dearest sir,

I beg permission to introduce to your warm civilities, Lord Daer, son of the Earl of
Selkirk. He was introduced to me lately as a very valuable & philosophical
acquaintance, & my short intercourse with him has confirmed every report I had heard
of him. His political principles are well known, & very friendly to us. He means to
stay some time at Paris for his instruction & amusement.— As I have no small
persuasion that he will be remarkable in life, I have a pleasure in making him known to
you, and to my excellent friend your son, to whom he will prove a companion often.

I am, my dearest sir, Your ever affectionate, respectful & grateful,

Benjn. Vaughan

Dr. Franklin.
