From Mrs. — Powel (unpublished)
Monday June 16 1788

Mrs. Powel flatters herself she need make no Apology for the Liberty she takes with Doctor Franklin in requesting the Favor of him to let his Sedan Chair attend the Commands of a Virginia Gentleman, who is laboring under such severe and weakening Complaints as renders him incapable of being removed in a Wheel Carriage from his present Lodgings in Walnut Street to Mr. Hunters, which his Physicians esteem a more healthy and quiet Situation for him. If it accords with the Doctors Convenience Mr. Powel’s Servant will attend at 12 oClock to direct to the Gentlemans Lodgings.

Mrs. Powel hopes the Doctors Health is perfectly good this very fine Day.

Addressed: His Excellency Benjamin Franklin
