Letters to Benjamin Franklin 21 



From John Waring. 1760. January 4. London. 



Inforn:iing him that the Associates of the late Dr. Bray have unani- 

 mously elected him a member of their Society; they have resolved upon 

 opening three schools for negroes with all convenient speed; requests 

 his attendance at a meeting to be held at Mr. Bird's on the 17th. A.

From Isaac Norris. 1760. September 26. Philadelphia. 



Acknowledging various letters received in June and July. Concern-

 which have been or may be allotted to this Province upon the Parlia- 

 mentary grants. Stormy state of affairs; everything in the present

 property, liberty and life of a people. A. L. S. i p. I, 60.
