 From Ibo niomeut Mt-s. W'ashini^lon A myself adopted the Iwo youii^f.st children 
 on ho late Mr, Crslis. it became my inU'iition (it Iht-y survived me, and con dueled themselves to 
 my satisfaction) to consider th-m in my will, when' 1 was aliout to make a distribution of my 
 l>rbpciiy. This determinulion has undeiirone no diminution, but is strengthened by the con- 
 nexion which one of them bus formed with my family. 
 
 The expense at which I live and the unprodnctiveness of my Estate, together, will admit 
 
 of no diminution of income, while I n-nuiin in my ])i-c?ient situation; on the contrary, were It 
 
 not for occasional supplies of money, in payment tor Lands sold within the last four or live years, 
 to the amount of upwards of Fifty thousand dollar-.; I should not be able to support the foi'mer 
 without invnlvinj; myself in debt and diltlculties 
 
 ISut. as it has been understood from ex|)ressious occasionally dropped from ^N'elly Cnstis, 
 now) vour wife, tliat it Is the wish of you b ilh to settle in this neighborhood {contiguous to her 
 friends) and as it would be inexpedient, as well as expensive for you, to make a purchase of 
 land when amvisure whieb is in contemplation would place yon <»n more eligiljle ground. 1 
 shall inform you. that in the will which I have by me. and have no disposition to alter, that part 
 of my Mouni Vernon tract whicli lyes north west of the public road leading from the Gum 
 Spring to Colchester (from a certain point whicli 1 have marked) containing about two thousand 
 acres of Land, with the Doguc run Farm— Mi. 1— Distillery— (iray's heights, &c., is b<!queathed to 
 you and her jointly, if you incline to build on it,— and tew belter sites fora house than Gray's 
 iiih, and that range, are t(» be found in this Country, orelsewhere 
 
 You may also have what is properly Dogue run Farm, — the Mill— and Distillery on a just 
 & equitable Kent; as also the hands belonging thereto on a reasonable hire;* it being neces- 
 sary, in mv opinion, that a young man should have objects of employment. Idleness is disrepu- 
 table under any eivcumstances; productive ot . o good, even when unaccompanied by vicious 
 habits;- and you might commence building as soon as you please; during the progress of which. 
 Mount Vernon might be made your home. 
 
 Yon nuty coticeive. that building, before you have an absolute title to the land, is hazard- 
 ous.— To obviate this, I shall only remark that it'is not likely thai any occurrence will happen, or 
 any change take place, that wciuid alter my present intention. (If the conduct of yourself and 
 wife is su'.'h as to merit a continuauee ot it) but be this is it nuiy, that you may proceed on sure 
 ground with respt_'et to the buildings. I will agree, and this letter shall bear evidence of it, that if, 
 thereafter, 1 should tind cause to make any oilier disposition of the property here mentioned, I 
 will pay the actual cost ot such buildin<is to you. or yoursj, 
 
 Although I have not the most distant idea that any event will happen that could effect a 
 change in my present determination. — nor any suspicion that yon, or Nelly would conduct your- 
 selves in such a manner as to incur my serious displeasure: yet at the same time that 1 am in- 
 clined to do justice to others, it behoves me to take care of niysVlf, by keeping the staff in my own 
 hands . 
 
 That you may have a more perfect idea of the Landed property I have bequeathed to you 
 & Nelly in niy will, I transmit a plan of it. every part of which is correctly laid down & accur- 
 ately measured— .shewing the nunibcrof Fields,— Lots. — Meadows,— Wastelands, &c., with the con- 
 tents & relative situation of each,— all of which, except the Mill Swamp (w'ch has never been con- 
 sidered as part of Dogue run Farm, and is retained, merely for the purpose of pulling it into a 
 better stale of improvenieni, you may have on the terms before niemiioned, — with eveiy kind 
 wish for you A Nelly, in whichyonr Aunt who hivs been & is very much indisposed unites.— I re- 
 main.

 4°. 4 pages. 
 
 This Interesting letter relates to the former. It speaks in decided though kind toiTns of his 
 dissatisfaci ion with his overseer, Ml'. Anderson, and explains more fully his intended generous 
 gift of Lands to his adopted Daughter Nelly and Lawrence Lewis. He also mentions his reasons 
 loi* wishing them to take at a fair rental the Dogue Ilun Farm, Mill &c., that he may do without 
 the services of an Overseer, and attend to his Estate himself, if he should not be again called in- 
 to the Public Service of the Country.

 Mount Vei'iion, -Ith Aug. 1797 
 
 Your letter of the 24ih ulto has been received, and I am sori-y to hear of the los3 of 
 your servant ; but it is my opinion these elopements will be much more, before they are less 
 frequent: and that the persons iiialving them should never be retained, if they are recovered, as 
 
 they are sure to contaminate and discontent others. 1 wish from my soul that the Legislature 
 
 of this Stale could see the policy of a gradual Abolition of Slavei-y ; It would prev't much future 
 mischief. 
 
 Whenever it is convenient to you to make this place your home 1 shall be glad to see you 
 at it for that purpose and that there may be no misunderstanding in the matter, 1 shall inforui 
 you beforehand, that yoii, servant (if you bring one) and horses, will fare in all respects as we & 
 mine do. but that I shall e.\pt^ct tio Services from you for which pecuniary compensation will be 
 made. — -I have already as many on wages as are suTlicient lo carry on my business, and more 
 
 indeed than 1 can tind "means to' pay, conveniently. As both your aunt and 1 are in the decline 
 
 of life, and regular in our habits, especially in our hours of rising Si going to bed, 1 require some 
 person (fit and Proper) tocase me of tbe trouble of entertaining company ; particularly of nights, 
 as it is my inclinsition to retire (and unless prevented by very particular comi)any, always do 
 
 retire) either to bed, or to my study, soon after candle-light. In taking these duties (which 
 
 hosi)itality obliges one to bestow on company) off my hands, it would render me a very accept- 
 able service, and for a little time only, to come, an hour in the day, now and then, devoted to the 
 recordin of some Papers which time would not allow me to complete before I left Philadelphia, 
 
 would also be acceptable, Besides there is nothing at present, that would require any portion 
 
 of your time, or attention ; both of which, if you have inclination for it, might be devoted to 
 Reading, as i have a great nuiny instructive Books, on many subjects, as well as amusing ones, 
 &c. &c &c 
 
 Your Auut unites with me in best regards for you, and I am your sincere friend and 
 
 AtTectionate Uncle

 the whole world. H is quoted by Waj'hinglon Irving in his '(anions life of (;cnl. George 
 Washington, and was considered by him to be the nmst important of all the Washington letters 
 that came under his perusal, and the onlj- one. to use his own words, which he desired to person- 
 ally own. To Bibliographers in Washingloniuna this lelter has Ikmmi known the world ovei*. It 
 has been in the possession of the present owner for uj^wards of fifty yeurs, and from whom it

 496 LETTER WRITTEN BY BENJ. FRANKLIN TO HIS INTI- 
 
 mate friend, James Reed. Folio. 
 
 Saturday Moi-iig Aug 27 45 
 Dear Jimmv: 
 
 I have been readinff vour Letter over again, and since you desire an Answer I sit 
 nie down to write yon one; yet as I write in I he Marlcet, it will 1 believe, be lint a short one. the' 
 1 may be long about il.— I approve of vour Method of Writing ones Mind when one is too warm 
 to speak it with Temper: lint being inyaelf quite cool In this AfTuir, 1 might a« well speak us 
 write, if 1 bad an ilpportnnity.— Your Copy ol Kemfis must be a corrupt one, if it has that 
 Passage as you quote it. In ojnniliHS Requiem Quaesiviy sed nom inveni nisi in an^ulo iitm Libeiio The 
 good Father understood I'h'asure (Requicmj better, and wrote, in angitlo cum Piu-iia. Correct It 
 thus, without Hesitation. 1 know there is another Reading, in angnlo Puellae ; but this reject 
 tho' more to the Point, as an Kxpression too indeliealo. — 
 
 Are you an Attorney by Pr^>fe<sion, and do 
 you know no betterhow to ch use a proper Court in which to bring your Action? WfiuM you submit 
 to the Decision of a Husband, a Cause between you and his Wife? Don't you know thatall Wives 
 are in the Kight? it may be you don't, for you are yet Ijut a young Husband. Rut see. on this 
 
 Head the learned Coke, that Oracle of the Law in his Chapter De Jure Marit. Angl. 1 advise 
 
 you not to bring it to Tryal ; for if j'ou do, you'll certainly be cast. 
 
 Frequent Interruptions make it im- 
 possible for me to go thro' all your Letter, I have only Time to remind you of the Saying of that 
 excellent old PhilOsoph(»r Socrates, ///<j/ /'« Differences among Fiiends tltey that make the jfirst Con- 
 cessions are the ^uise-it ; and to hint to you. that you are in Danger of losinii that Honour in the 
 present Case, if you are not very speedy in voiir Acknowledgements : which 1 persuade myself 
 you will be, when you consider the Sex of your Adversary— Your Visits never hiid but one Thing 
 disagreable in them, that is, they were alw'avs too short. " I shall exceedingly regret the Loss of 
 them, unless you continue, as you have begun, to make it up to me by long Letters, 1 am, dear 
 Jimmy with sincerest Love to our dearest Suky. 
 
 Your very alTectionate Friend a!id 
 
 Cousin.

 This famous facetious letter has received more notoriety than any other letter written by 
 lienj. Franklin : it has been copiously eojued and published in Kngland and America, and has 
 long been tin.' apple of the eve of most autograph collectors both here and abroad. Of course 
 the Quotations attributed to Thomas .i'Kempis are spurious, and show in what a facetious vein 
 the thoughts of one of the great master minds of Uevolutionary times was prone to rnn at certain 
 periods. It is written to his most intimate frienil, Jas. Keed, and this is theflrst time that the 
 original has ever been placed before the public. It is known as " The Celebrated Letter Written 
 in the Market House" at Front and Market, Philadelphia.

 Hildebuiii, 932. It is claimea that tliis is the first of the Ephrata Imprints, und it is certainly 
 bne oflhe finst. as none are known of earlier date than 1745. This copy, which is in the original 
 leather, with clasps, has title, the seven unnumbered pages, then another title, which is page 1, 
 and continuous pagination up to 519, broken only by the errors at page> 330 and 345, where there Is 
 lot of duplicate pagination, as mentioned on last page of the Register. There are six sub-titles. 
 On the reveise of page 1, there is a curious and gh-tstly wood cut of thirteen skulls with 
 bones. Leaf I of the signature M is lacking in the Kegister. The book is otherwise so perfect, 
 that we may be justitiedln expressing the doubt whether it "was issued with the book.

 most sought after of American Imprints.

 Fine Cojiy of the original edition. Gordon says (History of Pennsylvania, Philada., 1829, 
 page 382); "In examining the conduct of the proprietaries, the author has not spared the memory 
 of Penn, much less that of his children ; under his ha^ld the character of the early settlers of 
 Pennsylvania rises in strong and pleasing leliel", and the contrast between them and" the proprie- 
 taries is much to the advantage of the former."

 Dear Sir:- 
 
 Your favor of tho 26th at hanr!, 
 
 The T'itchell 
 
 who purcha.sed in the "/ashinfcton Sale vras not Judge 
 Mitchell. I was lead to "believe it '.vas by tli.'s fa.ct 
 of you putting his name in my mouth in your letter. It 
 was the firm of T'itchello of "Tew York, consisting of 
 George D. Smith, and A. J. Bovden. If you would -.vrite 
 to George D. Smith, 547 Fifth Avenue, :Tew York City, he 
 could probably tell you for whom they -ourchased. In 
 that Sale I think I bought under the name of Grover for 
 Judge Mitchell. ITo apology is needed ds I am always 
 willing to assist '.vherever I can. 
 
 Yours truly.
