Cadwallader Colden to Benjamin Franklin, June 20, 1754

Coldenghame June 20th 1754

Sir

I inclose the papers which I received from Mr. Alexander to be conveyed to you by the first opportunity to Albany. 5 You will find that I make remarks with that freedom which I believe you expect from me that in case you find any weight in any of them you may make your scheme more perfect by avoiding reasonable exceptions to it and have the pleasure of adding this to many other well received schemes which you have formed for the benefit of your country. I hope in your return from Albany you may have time to stop a day or two at my house As you seldom can miss a passage from hence to New York if it should be inconvenient for your sloop to wait so long. By this you will give a very great pleasure to

To Benjn Franklin Esqr  at Albany
