[Woodbridge, December 23, 1769. Has crept back here to print
the New Jersey laws. The enclosures will show (1) why the bill of
exchange that Colden had promised is not sent; and (2) that Franklin
has power of attorney, witnessed by the captain and mate of the ship,
to recover the wages due Parker. Has written the Board of Customs
Commissioners at Boston to resign from the customs house, and expects
his wages only until January 6. His strength is somewhat recovered,
but the weather is bitter cold; unless it warms the Delaware will
soon be frozen.]
