We have letters from America to the 7th August. The
spirit of our people was never higher. Vast exertions making preparatory for some important action. Great harmony

to receive in my behalf your embraces. With great and
sincere esteem,
I have the honour to be, dear sir,
Your most obedient and most humble servant,
Benjamin Franklin.
