Jonathan Shipley to Benjamin Franklin, March 20, 1775

[On or after March 20, 1775?]

[ First page or pages missing. ] Perhaps the Blunders and the Knavery of the Ministry which We are taught to call the Wisdom of the Nation may cooperate not a little to your advantage. Providence is an excellent Artist and can perform very admirable Works with very wretched Tools. The Family in Jermyn Street, whom I hope You will sometimes think of, desire [most] unfeignd and most affectionate Respec[ts to] You, and I am inclind to think that in the old World and in the New there are none who admire You more, or love You so much. I am, Dear Sir, Most affectionately Yours

J. St. Asaph
