Talk about something I'd love to read!

A UC San Diego professor discovered a collection of transcribed letters in the British Library. Not just any letters, either. These were a transcribed correspondence between Benjamin Franklin and a number of different people, written during the French and Indian War. It references an action that Franklin aided the British general in, referred to as "the wagon affair," in his autobiography.

These letters were assumed lost. This is the first time, possibly since they were compiled, that scholars have read them. They're to be published in the April issue of the William and Mary Quarterly.

Wow. I'm so glad I've got access to a university library. I've got to read these.
