Meredith was one of the hands whom Franklin had found in Keimer's employ and whom he had instructed, in the craft. He is described in the Autobiography as "A Welsh Pennsylvanian, thirty years of age, bred to country work; honest, sensible, had a great deal of solid observation, was something of a reader, but given to drink. " Long into the night they talked, discussing ways and means and laying plans for a business of their own. Franklin says of this occasion, speaking of Meredith, "He had conc...eived a great regard for me, and was very unwilling that I should leave the house while he re- mained in it. He dissuaded me from returning to my native country, which I began to think of; he reminded me that Keimer was in debt for all he possessed; that his creditors began to be uneasy; that he kept his shop miserably, sold often without profit for ready money, *The best type came from the celebrated foundry of Wm. Caslon in London. Caslon lived from 1692 to 1766. 21 and often trusted without keeping accounts; that he must therefore fail which would make a vacancy I might profit of.
