Dear Brother

Your Commissioner or Agent Mr. Quincey has done Wonders here. He has executed his Commission extreamly well, and obtained yesterday a Vote for £10,000 in Provisions for your New England Forces, which will be rendered effectual without the Necessity of the Governor’s Assent to a Law for the Purpose.

Govr. Shirley is not yet come, but daily expected.

My Love To all New England. I am in haste Your affectionate Brother

B Franklin
