Among his private correspondence is a series of letters written to Thomas Wharton that touch upon the Franklin family’s dealings in land speculation in Western Pennsylvania. William was involved in the New Jersey-based Burlington Land Company. There are also a few family letters William wrote to his son William Temple Franklin and Sarah Franklin Bache.
