I am much obliged for yesterday’s Communications. You’ll permit me to adopt a request of Father Beccaria. “Si alia habeas [Scripta praesertim Franklini] quae a me desiderari posse putes (quid autem esse potest Franklinianarum Rerum quod non planè depeream?) quaeque verecundè peti abs me posse arbitrere, ut mittas etiam atque etiam efflagito.”

I congratulate you upon the Honors confer’d upon you. Honors so well placed reflect a Lustre on the Bestowers. I am with much esteem Sir, Your most Obedient Servant
