John Wheelock to Benjamin Franklin, July 17, 1783

St James’ Street No. 40 London 17 July 1783

Sir,

I wrote to your Excellency from the Hague, requesting a letter to Dr Price, & the
favor to be informed, whether any thing had appeared in the circle of your acquaintance
conducive to the furtherance of the Object of my attention. 4 But likely my letter has not reached you, as I
have heard nothing since.

I beg, Sir, the honor to be informed whether or no, in your opinion, any thing can be
done to effect in any part of His Christian Majestys dominions— A compliance, so soon as
you might think it convenient, would be very obliging, as we shall not stay long in this
country, unless something should turn up more favorable to success than now appears. 5

I am with the greatest respect, Sir, your Excellencys most obedient & very humble
servant

Jn Wheelock
