To [Henry Laurens?] (unpublished)
Passy, Sept. 17. 1782
Dear Sir,

I have just receiv’d the Enclos’d from Mr. E. Bridgen of London. Please to return me his Letter.

I long to finish my private Affair you are so good as to assist me in, and shall be glad to receive the additional Provisions you intended, that I may copy the whole, for I think my present Situation more hazardous than those about me seem to imagine. With sincere Esteem I am, Dear Sir, Your most obedient humble Servant

B Franklin
