My dear Child

I wrote to you June 13. July 11. July 22. and July 24. I have now little to add, except to acquaint you that we continue pretty well, tho’ I begin to feel the want of my usual yearly Journeys. We shall therefore, having little to do at present, set out in a few Days for Harwich and possibly may take a Trip over to Holland, but purpose to be again in London, God willing, before the Coronation. My Love to my dear Sally, whom with you I long to see, and to all Friends. I am, my dearest Debby Your ever loving husband

B Franklin
