Conservative Wordsmith Susan Baldwin writes: Did Benjamin Franklin cheat on his wife? Probably no one will ever know for sure. However, according to a recent article in the Los Angeles Times, a newly discovered letter definitely proves that, at the very least, Benjamin Franklin did love his wife, and was extremely devoted to her.
Judge for yourself. "Some modern researchers have wondered whether Franklin's eye wandered while he was in England, far from his wife, Deborah. Although it does not settle the issue, in one of the letters Franklin pleads with his wife: 'Write to me, by every opportunity. I long to be with you, as ever. Your loving husband.'" -- from a Los Angeles Times article entitled:
