John Foxcroft to Benjamin Franklin, February 2, 1772

Philada. feby. 2d. 1772

Dear Sir

I have the happiness to acquaint you that your Daughter was safely brought to Bed the 20th. Ulto. and presented me with a sweet little Girl, they are both in good spirits and are likely to do very well. 8

I was seized with a Giddyness in my head the Day before yesterday which alarms me a good Deal as I had 20 oz. of Blood taken from me and took Physick which does not seem in the least to have relieved me. I am hardly able to write this. Mrs. F joins me in best affections to yourself and Compliments to Mrs. Stevenson and Mr. and Mrs. Huson. 9 I am Dear Sir Yours affectionately

John Foxcroft

Mrs. Franklin Mrs. Bache little Ben. the Family at Burlington are all well  I had a Letter from the Governor yesterday.
