Ben Franklin to return home?
Item # 674413
November 01, 1783
THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, Nov. 1, 1783 The back page has a short but very notable item: "A letter from Paris says that Dr. Franklin is sent for to America, in order to have his advice in making a code of laws for the better government of the United States; and that Mr. Laurens, jun. is to reside at Paris in quality of their Ambassador until some other appointment is made."
Records indicate that he did not return to America, and would not do so until 1785, when shortly after his arrival he would participate in the Constitutional Convention.
Eight pages, 8 1/4 by 11 1/4 inches, very nice condition.
