Pennsylvania. Provincial Council,. Report of the Commissioners to the Albany Congress : ms., 1754 Aug. 6.

Title: Report of the Commissioners to the Albany Congress : ms., 1754 Aug. 6.

Report of John Penn and Richard Peters, Pennsylvania commissioners to the Albany Congress, to Lt. Gov. James Hamilton and the Council, 6 Aug. 1754, on their purchase of more land beyond the Susquehanna from the Six Nations. The report begins with accounts of other negotiations for the same or adjacent lands which were in progress or rumored on their arrival, especially with agents of Connecticut, and consultations with various tribal leaders. Following is an account of part of the proceedings of the Albany Congress on 30 June, when it was decided not to make the Pennsylvania sale part of the Congressional proceedings. Next are accounts of the commissioners' meetings on 5 and 6 July with representatives of the Six Nations, in which they reached an agreement for the purchase of land up to the western border of Penn's grant, and the text of the deed from the Six Nations to proprietors Thomas and Richard Penn. Next is an account of a meeting on 9 July at which the participants ratified the treaty of 1736 (full text and endorsement given) whereby the Six Nations agreed not to sell any land within the boundaries of Penn's grant to anyone but the proprietors. There follows a list of Indians present, by tribe and/or location, with their original and European names. The report concludes with a statement that the Connecticut agents were satisfied of Penn's claim and agreed to stop their negotiations for the same land. Persons prominently involved include commissioners John Penn, Richard Peters, Isaac Norris, and Benjamin Franklin; Hendrick, the Mohawk sachem and chief spokesman for the Six Nations; William Franklin; Thomas Pownall; and Conrad Weiser, interpreter.

Franklin-Bache Papers, 1707-1799

Title: Franklin-Bache Papers 1707-1799

Containing over 4 linear feet of letters and documents, the Franklin-Bache Papers comprises the second largest collection of letters and documents relating to Benjamin Franklin in the APS Library. Although the scope of the collection is broad, including materials from the time of Franklin's arrival in Philadelphia to his death, the heart of the collection documents the period of Franklin's ministry in France (1776-1785) and his diplomatic efforts to win financial and military support for the revolutionary cause, as well as less intensive coverage of his ministry in England before the Revolution. Franklin's correspondence with American and French officials, financiers (personal and otherwise), and savants provides tantalizing details on the social context of Franklin's ministry in France, his intellectual life, and his growing celebrity. Much of the correspondence documents the efforts to convince French officials early in the war to support the American cause, but there is valuable material relating to the peace negotiations as well. The collection is equally rich in personal correspondence, including a rich set of letters from Mary Stevenson Hewson, Georgiana Shipley, Catherine Ray Greene, Jane Mecom, Deborah Franklin, and a number of Franklin's other relatives. The collection is arranged chronologically.
