Froi7i James Parker. 1765. June 14. Philadelphia. 



Enclosing a general statement of accounts, and acknowledging a short 

 letter from Franklin by Capt. Robinson. Discusses some money mat- 

 ters in which he seems to have expected a more generous treatment at 

 Franklin's hands. The use he made of B. Mecom's printing materials 

 he is willing to pay for; Mecom's effects remain in store house in New 

 York, awaiting Franklin's orders. His health failing but endeavors to 

 be resigned, knowing that it cannot be long before he goes hence. A. L.

Frow Jos [eph] Galloway. 1765. June 18. Philadelphia. 



Acknowledging his letter by Capt. Robinson ; the case of the Duke of 

 Athol a curious one; still more curious are Mr. Pownall's reasons for 

 refusing the Government, though they do credit to that gentleman. 

 Sends the enclosed Resolves of the Lower House of Assembly of Vir- 

 ginia, on the Stamp Act and the right of the British Legislature in 

 forming that law; after they were passed, the Governor procured the 

 original minutes, tore them up and instantly dissolved the Assembly.
