To Charles Thomson (unpublished)
Philada Feb. 5. 1789
Dear Friend

By Mistake in making up your last Letter, the enclos’d was return’d instead of my first to the President. I advertise you of it, lest, supposing the first to be return’d to me, you should present it instead of the Second.

With invariable Esteem and Affection, I am, my dear Friend, Yours ever,

B Franklin.

Cha. Thomson Esqr.
Addressed: Honble. Cha. Thomson, Esqr / Secretary of Congress, / New York
