Excerpt from Letters of Dr. Benjamin Franklin, Signer of the Declaration of Independence: And His Son William Franklin, Colonial Governor of New Jersey, to William Strahan, the Publisher
Thomas Smith; he is the only Printer on that Island: - had worked with me here and at my Printing-house in N York, 3 or 4 Years, and always behaved extremely well.
Mr Tho' Osborne Bookseller of London, is endeavouring to open a Correspondence in the Plantations for the Sale of his Books: He has accordingly sent several Parcels, 1 to Mr Parker of N. York, 1 to Mr Read here, & one to Mr Parks in Virginia. I have seen the Invoices to Parker & Read; and observe the Books to be very high charged, so that I believe they will not sell. I recommended Parker to you for Books, but he tells me has wrote you several Letters, & in two of them sent a Guinea to purchase some small Things, but never receiv'd, any Answer. Perhaps the Guineas made the Letters miscarry. He is very honest, punctual Man, and Will be in the Way of selling a great many Books; - I think you might find your Acct in Writing to him. Mr Read having left off Bookselling Osborne has wrote to me, & desired me to take those Books into my Hands, proposing a Correspondence, &c. but I have declin'd it in a Letter per this Ship.
My spouse will write to Mrs Strahan, to whom my best Respects.
