Sir John Pringle to Benjamin Franklin, January 1, 1772

Wednesday morning [before September 30?, 1772]

Sir John Pringle presents his Compliments to Dr. Franklin, and desires the favour of the Doctor’s letting him know at what hour he can most conveniently meet Sir J. P. at Mr. Hewson’s this morning from 11 to 3, inclusive, Sir J. P. being engaged only till 11.

Sir J. P. presumes that Mr. Hewson has already bespoken the favour of Dr. Franklin’s company for seeing his preparations some time this day.

If 11 will answer Sir J. P. will wait at home till Dr. F. call him, as lying little out of his way.
