From Phineas Bond, Jr. (unpublished)
Union St. 4th. June 1787.

Mr. Bond presents his Compliments to Mr. Franklin, He thinks Himself unfortunate in not having been able to lay his Hands on the Pamphlets He was desirous to see; but still hopes He may find them among his Miscellanies.

Mr. B: has the Pleasure to send Mr. F. the Asylum for fugitive Pieces, in which He will find some pleasant things, mixed with a great deal of Trash: Mr. F. will soon discover the Book to be unfit for the Inspection of any of his fair Friends; unless He will exercise his discretion in selecting such Parts as may be calculated to merit the Delicacy and refinement of their Taste; and to spare the Blush of Prudery.
