Summary
Worner presents the text of a letter from Benjamin Franklin to Edward Shippen in 1755. Franklin, as a member of the Pennsylvania Assembly, was informing Shippen that he had arranged for two men to work on "the road" [Braddock's road?] and that they would report to Shippen for directions. The writer of this article did not know what "the road " was. He says he cited the letter only because it was one of few letters written by Franklin to someone in Lancaster.

Franklin, Benjamin, - 1706-1790 - Correspondence.

Summary
In 1832, a group of girls in a school operated by the British-born organist of St James Episcopal Church in Lancaster were disappointed that the school was not planning to honor George Washington's birthday with a day off from school. The girls appealed to Bishop Bowman, the rector of St James Episcopal. In response, the Bishop wrote a short poem honoring Washington. The girls signed the poem, presented it to the school, and had their day off.
