From Lord Kames
Extract: reprinted from Jared Sparks, ed., The Works of Benjamin Franklin… (10 vols., Boston, 1836-40), VII, 432 n.
Edinburgh, January 21st, 1769.

The letter you mention, about American affairs, never came to hand. I have an essay on the subject of your Queries, and you shall hear from me soon about our agreeing or differing. I have a great fund of political knowledge reduced into writing, far from being ripe, but fit for your perusal. If you will come to my aid, I know not but that we shall make a very good thing of it. If not, it may be lost to the world, and what a loss will that be!
