To Francis Childs (unpublished)
Philad. July 27. 1786
Sir

The Types you have ordered are in hand, and will be done in about three Weeks.

This is to request that you would by every Ship bound to London from your Port, send to Philip Larsom, Esqr. Mercht in London, a little Box containing your Newspapers, with such others as you may have receiv’d from any of the States, and the Journals of Congress. In return the Gentleman will send you by every Ship some London Newspapers and Pamphlets. I think this may be useful to you, as I have forbid the Continuance of Papers to me by the Packet: for they do not come regularly, some of the Morning Chronicles being among the last. I am, with Esteem, Yours &c

B Franklin
