Sarah Bache to William Temple Franklin (unpublished)
Philadelphia Decr. 3d 1782
Dear Temple

When Mr. Bache wrote his letter to Papa I was perfectly well, walked out in the morning to get the grafts and intended returning to write a long letter, but was taken ill abroad and was much indisposed for two or three days, I am now well again but have not time to say much, by this opportunity you will receive nine dog and three squirrel skins. Mr. Myeres has them under his care, they were packed by Mr. Paulus the famous hatter from Holland, they are all I could procure this Season, I hope they will get time enough, it is the first opportunity I have had that was a good one since they were collected, accept the love of all this Family and beleive me to be Your Afectionate Aunt
