Description
He sends a banknote bearing his father's handwriting; so many applications have been made that he now has little left, in the way of letters, that he can part with; he offers information as to the whereabouts of several descendants of signers, namely: Burd Wilson, Alexander Dallas Bache, a great grandson of Franklin, James Woods, who married a daughter of Witherspoon, Francis Hopkinson, grandson of the signer, Capt. Robert Stockton, John Read, and Thomas McKean, son of the signer.
