Series: Journal of the Lancaster County Historical Society ; v. 27, no. 5

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.

Subjects: Shippen, Edward, - 1703-1781 - Correspondence.; Franklin, Benjamin, - 1706-1790 - Correspondence.
