Franklin made the suggestion in a letter dated Jan, 26, 1784 written to his daughter, Sarah Bache, addressed from Passy, France. He may not have actually promoted the idea (the decision was made while he was out of the country); he may not have been entirely serious, but he did make the suggestion. You can read the letter for yourself on franklinpapers.org. Urban legends & myths are born when people uncritically repeat things they have heard from others without doing any research. If you want to bust myths, do some research. Don’t just uncritically repeat that you heard it wasn’t true.
