Consists of two letters: one dated 15 December 1773 in London to a Rev. Mr. Turner in Wakefield, concerning American affairs, his conversation with Dr. Franklin and a Unitarian Appeal; and an undated note in third person to Benjamin Morgan in Philadelphia, accepting a dinner invitation. This letter probably dates after 1794, when Priestley came to America to escape religious persecution in England.
