Samuel Wharton to Benjamin Franklin, March 3, 1778

London March 3 1778

Dear Sir

By the Bearer Captain All, I have sent you and Mr. Dean the parliamentary Register, The Remembrancer, News Papers &c., And I beg leave to mention to you, (As Captain All desires it, And as I can, with great Truth do it) That his Duty to his Employer has obliged Him to stay much longer here, Than was agreable to Him; 9 But That he has steadily maintained, and upon all Occasions declared, Sentiments worthy of an American, Who knew, and reverenced the Rights of Freedom. With the most earnest Wishes for a Continuance of your Health, I am, dear Sir, Your affectionate humble Servant

S Wharton

I beg my Regards to your Nephew. Dr. Franklin.
