Henry Home, Lord Kames to Benjamin Franklin, January 21, 1769

Edinburgh, January 21st, 1769.

The letter you mention, about American affairs, never came to hand. 3 I have an essay on the subject of your Queries, and you shall hear from me soon about our agreeing or differing. 4 I have a great fund of political knowledge reduced into writing, far from being ripe, but fit for your perusal. If you will come to my aid, I know not but that we shall make a very good thing of it. If not, it may be lost to the world, and what a loss will that be!
