1761. Oct. 16, to Sep. 3, 1762. For this interval of 

 nearly eleven months, no minutes known to exist of

1762. End of August. Franklin sailed from Eng- 

 land with his son, and arrived in Philadelphia on the 

 1st of Nov., after an absence of more than five years. 

 A few days before he sailed, his son was appointed 

 Governor of New Jersey. 1 Sparks, 268, 269. 



Sep. 3. "The members of the Junto, desirous of 

 continuing the Society, met this evening, having 

 again agreed with Mr. Carruthers for the room on 

 the same terms, on which they had it formerly, " etc. 

 See Junto Minutes of this date. 



Sept. 10. E. Physick excuses himself for not having 

 introduced Ch. Moore, a member elect, because he 

 went on a journey, "soon after which the Society 

 was discontinued. Now we are met again" etc. C. 

 Moore was elected Oct. 2, 1761. Only two meetings 

 are recorded afterwards in the minute book, after 

 which a hiatus exists until Sep. 3, 1762. See Junto
