Paying it forward
In a 1784 letter authored by Benjamin Franklin to Benjamin Webb,
he states, “I do not pretend to give such a deed; I only
lend it to you. When you meet with another honest man in similar
distress, you must pay me by lending this sum to him; enjoining
him to discharge the debt by a like operation, when he shall
be able, and shall meet with another opportunity. I hope it may
thus go thro’ many hands, before it meets with a Knave that
will stop its Progress. This is a trick of mine for doing a deal
of good with a little money.”
