English: Sample letter using en:Benjamin Franklin's phonetic alphabet from The writings of Benjamin Franklin (v. 3, 1750-1759) [copy at [1]]. Also printed with usual spelling in Noah Webster (1789) Dissertations on the English language, p. 407 [copy at [2]]

Dear Sir,

I have transcribed your alphabet, &c. which I think might be of service to those who wish to acquire an accurate pronunciation, if that could be fixed ; but I see many inconveniences, as well as difficulties, that would attend the bringing your letters and orthography into common use. All our etymologies would be lost ; consequently we could not ascertain the meaning of many words ; the distinction too between words of different meaning and similar sound would be useless, unless we living writers publish new editions. In short, I believe we must let people spell on in their old way, and (as we find it easiest) do the same ourselves. With ease and with sincerity I can, in the old way, subscribe myself,

Dear Sir,
Your faithful and affectionate Servant,

M. S.
