Peter Collinson to Benjamin Franklin, May 27, 1756

London 1757 [May 27, 1756?] 6

I have the pleasure to tell thee how much thou art esteemed by many worthy men here: for on the Ballot for thy Election to be a Member of the Royal Society , there was not one negative Ball; an Instance of Unanimity that Lord Macclesfield told me he never before saw . So I wish thee long to enjoy that Honor deservedly and so unanimously conferred on thee. Thy Diploma will be sent when ready.
