12To Benjamin Franklin from David Hall, 6 September 1765 (Franklin Papers)

Letterbook copy: American Philosophical Society Yours, of February 14. and April 13. came safe to hand, and are the only Letters I have received from you since your Arrival in England. The Double Demy is arrived in Sparks: but, as it was not done up in Cases, and pretty near the Bottom of the Vessel, the Corners of some of the Bales got wet a little, which occasioned some Damage, but not much....
15Franklin and Hall: Notice to Debtors, 25 April 1765 (Franklin Papers)
Printed in The Pennsylvania Gazette , April 25, 1765. As the Partnership of Franklin and Hall , Printers of this Paper, is now near expired, a Settlement of the Accounts betwixt them is become absolutely necessary; and there being a very considerable Number of Sums, both great and small, due to said Partnership, and many of them of a long Standing, this serves earnestly to request all indebted...

I begin then with acquainting you, that Mrs. Franklin and Sally are well, as is your Son, who I saw the Day before Yesterday. The Papers are sent you by this Vessel, and...

20David Hall’s Remittances to England, 1757–1765 (Franklin Papers)
MS account book: American Philosophical Society [June 2, 1757] The partnership agreement with David Hall, Jan. 1, 1748, provided that Hall was to pay one half the net income of the printing office to Franklin at every monthly clearing of accounts.
