From Benjamin Franklin: Note on Resolutions of Congress (unpublished)
Note by B. F.

The Information here alluded to, was, that the last Loan of six Millions was accompanied with the most explicit Declarations to me, that no more was to be expected, or could possibly be granted; and that if I accepted Bills to a greater Amount, I must seek Assistance elsewhere for the Payment of them, as it could not be furnish’d here.
