Letter from Benjamin Franklin to Humphry Marshall, West Bradford, Penn., dated London, April 22, 1771.
I am much obliged by your kind Present of curious Seeds. They were welcome Gifts to some of my Friends.— I send you herewith some of the new Barley lately introduced into this Country, & now highly spoken of. I wish it may be found of use with us.—
I was the more pleas’d to see in your Letter the Improvement of our Paper, having had a principal Share in establishing that Manufacture among us many years ago, by the Encouragement I gave it—
If in anything I can serve you here, it will be a Pleasure to.
Your obliged Friend and humble Servant,
