Sir

I receiv’d your Favour of the 26th. which I shall answer at large per next Post. In the mean time please to send me, if you have it with you, my Paper of Observations on Baxter’s Book, which I want to make some present Use of, and have no other Copy.

Mesnard sail’d this Day for London. But here is a Vessel bound to Bristol, which the next Post will reach. In haste I am, Sir Your oblig’d humble Servant

B Franklin

p s. Upon farther Enquiry I find that next Post will not reach the Bristol Vessel, she being to sail on Saturday.
