Penn proprietors consent to Pennsylvania supply bill without settling proprietorial disputes
Source
28 January 1758
Letter from Thomas and Richard Penn to Benjamin Franklin agreeing to allow the Lieutenant Governor to assent to a money supply act for Pennsylvania's defence and public services, despite ongoing disputes between the Proprietors and the Provincial Assembly before the Attorney and Solicitor General. The letter references a previous act for raising £60,000 and striking £55,000 in bills of credit, indicating financial and constitutional tensions in mid-18th-century Pennsylvania governance.
