wanted TO borrow gun from n neighbor to kill
some yellow birds in his field of wheat which
were eating the grain. His neighbor declined

don edition of 1871:
+ i will introduce an anccdote which had from
DR.. Franklin:
While the doctor resided in France as Minister
from America, during the war, he had numerous
proposals made TO him by projectors of every
country, and of every kind, whs wished to 30 to
the land, that foweth with milk and honey
America: and among tile rest there was one who
offered himself to I've king He introduced his
proposal to the doctor by letter, which is now in
the hands of VI. Beaumarchais, of Paris, stating,
first, that, the Americans had dismissed or
sent away their king. they would want another;
secondly, that he himself was a Norman; third
ly, that he was of a more ancient family than the
Dukes of Normandy, and of a more honorable
descent, his line never having been bastardized;
fourthly, that there was already precedent in
England of kings coming out of Normandy. And
on these grounds he rested the offer, enjoining
that the doctor would forward il to America.
But, the doctor neither did this, nor vet sent
him an answer, the protector wrote him a second
letter. i'm which he did not, it is true threaten to
go over and conquer America, but only with
great dignity proposed that, if his offer was not
accepted, an acknowledgement of about ESQ., 600
might he made to him for his generosity.
