Franklin's business partner in the printing business.
Core Belief
"Honesty and hard work are important, but personal fulfillment and a stable life are also essential. He believes in finding a path that suits his abilities and temperament."
Worldview
Sees the world as a place of limited opportunities, where hard work doesn't always guarantee success. Values friendship and loyalty, but also recognizes the importance of personal well-being.
Personality
Honest and sensible, but lacking in business acumen and prone to drinking. He is aware of his limitations and values Franklin's skills and guidance. He seeks a more stable and fulfilling life.
In Their Own Words
"I am sensible I am no workman; if you like it, your skill in the business shall be set against the stock I furnish, and we will share the profits equally."
"I was bred a farmer, and it was a folly in me to come to town, and put myself, at thirty years of age, an apprentice to learn a new trade."
"You may find friends to assist you. If you will take the debts of the company upon you; return to my father the hundred pounds he has advanced; pay my little personal debts, and give me thirty pounds and a new saddle, I will relinquish the partnership, and leave the whole in your hands."
