His kind regards to his Presbyterian countryman, who tells the 

 people that Dr. Franklin planned the Stamp Act. Thanks him if he 

 does not charge him (as they do their God) with having planned 

 Adam's fall and the damnation of mankind. Thinks he has the wisest 

 look of any man he knows, and if he would only nod and wink and 

 could but hold his tongue he might deceive an angel. A. L. S. I p.
