4. The letter was from Mrs. Williams (see the preceding document); it had arrived earlier and not, as he appears to be saying, when he delivered to the post “these Letters”–his own, his wife’s, and those she enclosed to be forwarded. They all seem to have been in a single envelope, which is stamped “free”; BF was franking the Walkers’ correspondence with him and with Boston.
