The Attempt to Settle Franklin’s Post Office Account (II)
ADS: American Philosophical Society

Memorandum, Philada Oct. 18. 1776. that I this Day got Messrs. Foxcroft and Dashwood to compare this Acct. with the Comptroller’s Books and the Receiver-General’s Receipts with other Vouchers, and obtain’d from them a Certificate that they found the Accounts to agree, and the above Ballance to be right, with an Acknowledgement that I tendred them the said Ballance in Currency which they could not receive for want of Orders.

B Franklin
