Franklin and James Wilson to Jasper Yeates
LS: Historical Society of Pennsylvania
<Philadelphia, July 4, 1776: The Congress has appointed you a
commissioner of Indian affairs in the middle department, and
asked us so to inform you. A conference will be held at Pittsburgh
on July 20, which Congress hopes you will attend. Although this
may be inconvenient, we know that your regard for the public
will outweigh any consideration of your private affairs. You will
shortly hear further from us. Signed by Franklin and Wilson.>
