Joseph Wright to William Temple Franklin (unpublished)
Dear Sir

I found at my return to Paris yesterday, that I am oblidged to be detained a Week longer, as every place was taken both in the Dilligeuer and Cabriole and there being no other Conveyance before then—[and] as I receiv’d your Packet this Morning perhaps your letter to Mr. Williams may require an immediate conveyance.—I return my sincere thanks for this continued instance of your grandfathers kindness—I could wish my situation here had put it in my Power to shew you that I had a sence of His friendship, I have received from him and yourself, but I find I have only, more favours to ask—I could wish he would give me leave to make another Copy of his Picture either in small or Large—As I wish to make a Present of to Mrs [Buck] or whatever Person he should think fit, the last I did, Mr Whitford had been pleased to take from me, I am fearful to ask, as I consider I may be in some Measure troublesome, and he must be tired of seeing me so Constantly.

I remain Sr Sincerely yours

Joseph Wright

ps I had a great notion of making it the size of My Mothers, or the other little one you Saw, as it will be Portable, and yet sufficiently worked to keep the Likeness.
