This is a very controversial Franklin quotation. In fact, Franklin never sent this letter to Strahan, but it is one of the most famous of the Franklin quotations. It was even famous in 1775. Franklin saw to it that copies of his “letter” reached most American newspaper editors, many of who reprinted it. It was not the first time that an American politician had made quotations for domestic consumption only, and it certainly was not the last. So Franklin never said this to his friend Strahan, but he did claim that he did to all who Americans who would listen. The result is that Franklin developed a reputation for really ‘telling off those Englishmen.’ This was important for him because since he had many friends and admirers in England, he was suspect to many anti-British Americans.
