Dear Dispatch:
I have lately seen an article in a weekly paper, claiming that Thomas Paine is the author of the letters of "Junius," and also fo the "Declaration of Independence." It seems to me that years ago I read something like the same statement in relation to those letters in your column to anxious inquirers. Am I correct in this seeming? and if so will you please name what reason you have for such a statement?
I have in my possession an old book published in the year 1818 - written by John Taylor - in which it is quite plausibly contended that Sir Philip Francis is entitled to all the literary credit of those remarkable productions.

in all the days of "Junius" lived near the city of London, and being himself a writer of no mean order, often highly sarcastic and beautifully chaste in his style, may not these facts together with his known proclivities against all official corruptions-
be something to sustain the theory of his being the great unknown?
And his living in Philadelphia at the time the Declaration was written, his intimacy with Jefferson its reputed author, may it not also be possible that he might have aided him in that masterpiece of composition? Will you please let your readers have your views on the above? Very Truly yours "Junius,"
