Benjamin Franklin's Letter To Mary Stevenson
In Benjamin Franklin’s letter from Paris, he writes to Mary Stevenson, a woman who he parted ways with at the Society of Bromley, to share his two week Parisian adventure with her while discussing how “traveling is one way of lengthening life.”
Franklin writes in his letter about his experiences that he has encountered. He writes, “The Roads we found equally good with ours in England, in some Places pav’d with smooth Stone like our new Streets…yet there are no Turnpikes.” He compares Paris to England by using descriptive language in his dialogue to vividly express his visions to Mary Stevenson. In this context, one is able to formulate hypothesize about the advancements contracted in the New World compared to the European countries.
