To Mary Stevenson
ALS: American Philosophical Society
Friday morning. [1760-1762]
Dear Polly

You have obliged me very much by so readily fulfilling your Promise, and by adding the very pretty Letter to Mrs. Franklin.

I have just received one from her, and another from Sally, who both desire to be affectionately remembered to you.

Your good Mother is about House as usual, but complaining a little. She seems however to be rather better to day than for some days past.

I was out of Town till yesterday Afternoon, and till then had not your Letter, or should sooner have answered it.

My Respects to Mrs. Tickel. I am, my Dear Friend, with great Truth, Yours affectionately

B Franklin
