To Francis Childs (unpublished)
Philada Sept. 25. 86
Sir

I receiv’d yours in which you excused your Failure of the Payment you should have made me in August, and promised to make it in October. I hope you will now be punctual; for being engag’d in Building, which is always expensive, I have more than common Occasion for the Money. If you can send it by Mr. Bache when he returns, it will be very agreable to, Your Friend and Servant

B. Franklin

Mr Childs.
