To Benjamin Vaughan (unpublished)
Nov. 15. 89

Third Postscript to a very long Letter sent by the Pigou accompany’d by the first Part of my Memoirs, which I desir’d might be only seen by Dr. Price, but you may also give your good Brother William an Opportunity of reading them if he chuses to have it.

Dec. 5. 89

Another little Commission to trouble my dear Friend with!

It is to procure for me one of those little Books that teach to tune and play upon the Instrument called Viol de Gambo: which is about the Size of a Bass Viol, but is not the same, this having Six Strings. Send with the Book a Bow proper for the Instrument, and a Set of Strings. I suppose they may be had at any Music Shop. Yours affectionately

B Franklin
