Philad. June 7. 1764.
Dear W Strahan

	I receiv'd your Favour per Capt. 
Walker, which I shall answer fully per 
Hammet, who sails in about ten Days.  
I think I am slighted lately per Mr 
Becket.  Pray enquire & tell me the 
Reason, that if I have been in fault 
I may amend. ------- 
	I left some Receipts with you 
for Subscription Monies to Books. I 
wish you to enquire about them, parti-
cularly Stewart's Athens.
	My Love to Mrs Strahan and your 
Family.  I am, Dear Friend,
						Yours affectionately
							  B Franklin
We are all well, and 
as happy as other Folks 
for the present
