Letters to Benjamin Franklin 67 



From John Tunnicliff. 



1766. December 21. Langley Lodge, near Derby. 



Describing the kind of plantation he would like; if Franklin knows 



of such a one in Pennsylvania or New Jersey would be glad to hear of 



it. Begging his acceptance of a woodcock and a partridge. A. L. S. 



I p. n, 59. 



From James Parker. 1766. December 22. New York. 

 Acknowledging favor of October nth. Thinks Col. Hunter ought 

 to see that justice is done in his affair with Mr. Holt. Objects to 

 Franklin's remark that his "voluminous complaints hurt" him; never 

 had that intention ; accustomed long since to poverty and distress. Will 

 not avail himself of Franklin's kind permission to let him leave New 

 York; thinks it his duty to continue printing his newspaper. His grati- 

 tude to Franklin. His increasing years and failing strength. Repeats 

 contents of preceding letter, H, 58. A. L. S. 3 p . II, 60. 



From The Committee of American Merchants. 



[1766?] Monday 29. [London.] 

 Requesting Franklin to attend their meeting at Kings Arms, Cornhill. 

 L. in 3d P. I p. XLIII, 159. 



From The Associates of Dr. Bray. 1766. 

 Notice of meeting. Printed N. i p. LXVIII, 17. 



From Jno. Canton. [Circa 1766.] 



Desiring to know whether Franklin, in writing to Dr. Priestley, 

 mentioned a book which he desires for Mr. Cavendish. L. in 3d P. 

 I p. XL, 215. 



From [John] Huske. [1766?] 



Thinks the use of the account of the exports and imports may be of 

 greatest service to the northern colonies. The members for Scotland 

 who are directors of the Bank, India and Hudson's Bay Companies, and 

 the Irish and West Indian members may be convinced that if they do not 

 assist in extinguishing the flames in their neighbor's house, their own 

 may be next to burn. L. i p. XLIV, no. 



From [John] Huske. [1766?] 



In reference to statistics of imports from the West Indies to the ports 

 of Great Britain and their application in favor of the northern colonies. 

 A. L. S. 3 P- XLIV, 278.
