Condizione: Near Fine. [1]p. manuscript letter written on a folded folio sheet, addressed and docketed on p.[4]; plus [2]pp. manuscript news sheet written on both sides of a quarto sheet. A very interesting manuscript letter from British merchant John Vaughan to Parisian banker Ferdinand Grand, asking Grand to pass along to Benjamin Franklin an accompanying manuscript filled with news of events in Revolutionary America. John Vaughan (1756-1841) was an English wine merchant from a prominent family, and sympathetic to the American cause during the Revolution. He met Benjamin Franklin in Paris in 1778, and in 1782 emigrated to the United States, where he became treasurer and librarian of the American Philosophical Society in Philadelphia (of which Franklin was the first president). Ferdinand Grand acted as the banking representative of the United States in Paris, and was Benjamin Franklin's personal banker there. Vaughan's letter, written from Bordeaux, exchanges family pleasantries with Grand, and asks him to forward the enclosed manuscript news sheet to Benjamin Franklin. The manuscript that Vaughan asked to be forwarded to Franklin, also written in French, is filled with news from America for the years 1776 to 1778. Vaughan writes (in translation) "that American affairs could not be in a better state." Most of the news is of military events, beginning with General Howe's attempt to turn American prisoners of war to the British side following the capture of Fort Washington in November 1776. "After General [Howe] took Fort Washington, he addressed all the prisoners of war and told them the King wished to pardon all of them who would renew their oath of allegiance to him and would serve him again. He believed they would thankfully fall in with this suggestion, but to his astonishment Lord Stirling replied on behalf of them all: 'Sir, we are engaged in defending our country, and the freedom given us by God, which is consequently our natural right; whatever our fate may be we will submit to it without protest.and we are convinced this battle will be the last you will win over us.' If all the inhabitants of the 13 colonies had reasoned thus, they would have been free long ago." The news continues by recounting that Washington had been made commander in chief of the Continental Army, describing Washington's complaints to Howe over the treatment of American prisoners, and the repulsion of British troops from Philadelphia. There is also the discussion of the capture and hanging of a spy who was apparently aiding the British in subverting the defense of Philadelphia. The sheet also relates that Thomas Wharton has been made president and governor of Pennsylvania, and that American corsairs "are harassing the Royal navy." An interesting collection of Revolutionary War news, meant to make its way into the hands of Benjamin Franklin in France, discussing significant military events in the early history of the war, as well as military and political news regarding Franklin's beloved Philadelphia. Both documents with old folds. The letter has two tears in the address leaf from the wax seal. Overall, near fine. In a half morocco and cloth folding case, spine gilt [1]p. manuscript letter written on a folded folio sheet, addressed and docketed on p.[4]; plus [2]pp. manuscript news sheet written on both sides of a quarto sheet. …
