There are many letters from John Paul Jones about his naval exploits, and frequent appeals for help in securing the release of prisoners captured at sea, for help to return them and other Ameri- cans in distress to their homes. Dr. Price writes from London to know if it is true that Washington is grown unpopular, and that his army deserts in great numbers, and that the suffering in America is excessive. William Strahan reminds Franklin that in 1763 he spoke of America as England's strongest all...y and of France as that per- fidious nation. Vaughan sends to Chaumont (who reports it to Franklin) a message of greeting for their friend who always carried spectacles on his nose and kingdoms on his shoulders. His correspondence came from England and from all parts of the Continent and from the West Indies in an unending stream. A very curious letter is one from Richard Penn, dated London, October 20, 1778, which I think has never been printed : "Dear Sir; — Nothing but necessity could have induced me to take the liberty of begging your attention for a few moments, from those various and important affairs with which you are entrusted, and which you have executed with so much reputation to yourself and advantage to your country ; at the same time I am aware that the name subscribed will net at first sight bring you much in favour 1003.1 ROSEXOAKTEX — " FRANKLIN TAPERS." 169 of the writer.
