Interesting that Franklin’s Petition to the Senate is handwritten.

He should have used an IBM Selectric.

He would have, but he hadn't gotten around to discovering electricity yet. What beautiful handwriting, however. Hard to do with the carved end of a turkey feather. Love me some Benj. Franklin. I've read about four biographies of the outstanding techie of our first 200 years.
