To Mrs. [Deborah] Franklin, Philadelphia. 

 1 77 1. May I. London. 



Received the bill for £30 on Sir Alexander Grant; sorry she had so 

 much trouble in buying it, especially as it occasioned her some disgust 

 against Messrs. [John and Thomas] Foxcroft for not supplying the 

 money to pay for it. He had limited them in their paj^ments to her to 

 the sum of £30 per month, for the sake of their more easily settling and 

 to prevent mistakes. Does not like her going around among his friends 

 to borrow money with which to buy bills and asks her to decline 

 buying them in the future. Will order more money to be given her 

 if she will satisfy him that what she receives is insufficient. Is pleased 

 with the little histories of the fine boy. A. L. S. 2 p. XLVI(ii), 72. 



To Thomas Pownall. 1771. May 8. Craven Street, 



Thinks Mr. Sargent of Downing Street corresponds with Mr. 

 [Daniel] Coxe, [5^*^], and will probably take out the warrant [ap- 

 pointing him one of the Council of New Jersey. See Vol. I, p. 120.] 

 A. Dr. of L. in 3d P. i p. Ill, 60a.
