Note 323 — Chapter I · (continued 3)
Reading edition
Cf. Parton's Franklin, ii. 41, 44; Mahon, v. 24; Niles (1876 ed.), 476, Gent. Mag., xlvii. Franklin left London in March, 1775, and on his voyage home he wrote out an account of his recent negotiations, which is printed in Sparks (vol. i.) and in Bigelow (ii. 256). There are different copies of this paper (Parton, ii. 71); and Stevens (Hist. Coll., i. p. 160 D) has an account of one given to Jefferson (Bigelow, ii. 253).
