Responds to a complaint from the daughter of his recently deceased business partner, James Parker: "Desiring nothing but what is just, shall be more pleas'd to find little due to me than much...I think it contributes to the Duration of Friendship, to keep its Accounts, & those of Business, distinct & separate; and that as exact Justice in Pounds Shillings & Pence should be observed between Friends as between Strangers. I always intended making Mr Parker an Allowance for the Time he spent and the trouble he took in settling my Accounts with Mr Hall [Franklin's partner] after I left America..." Written while a Colonial Agent in London.
