Benjamin Franklin to John Wright (1789)
Bonus:
Summary: It's basically in the commentary.
Commentary: This is probably the John Wright who established Wright's Ferry/Columbia, PA.
I picked this one since it was one of the more average letters, but also touches back on a few of the themes that're common across BF's writings that I've looked at and will continue on with later.
Ben is still hoping the Frev will end well, he got a Christmas card?, congress was going well. Trade imbalance is a thing (ALWAYS!) Hopefully the end of slavery goes well (after some reasonably time of service), writing isn't going as quick as he'd like, same ol', same ol'.
