Jan, 18, 87

Dr. Franklin presents his Thanks to Mr. Hill for the opportunity given him of perusing this Manuscript which has afforded him much Pleasure by refreshing his Memory of things and Places that he had formerly seen. Dr. F. would be glad to have also a sight of the Drawings particularly that of the Marble Mill at Bakewell, having lost one he made himself when there, It is to be wish’d that all our young Men who travel had the same spirit of observation and Diligence in noting down what might be useful to their Country.
