To Jonathan Williams, Sr. (unpublished)
Philada. Nov. 26. 1788
Loving Cousin,

I have lately set up one of my Grandchildren, Benja. Bache, as a Printer here, and he has printed some very pretty little Books for Children. By the Sloop Friendship, Capt. Stutson, I have sent a Box address’d to you, containing 150 of each Volume, in Sheets, which I request you would, according to your wonted Goodness, put in a Way of being dispos’d of for the Benefit of my dear Sister. They are sold here, bound in marbled Paper at [illegible] a Volume; but I should suppose it best, if it may be done, to sell the whole to some Stationer, at once, unbound as they are; in which case I imagine that half a Dollar a Quire may be thought a reasonable Price, allowing usual Credit if necessary.

My Love to your Family, and believe me ever, Your affectionate Uncle

B. Franklin
