During the 12-week voyage,
Franklin wrote out a plan for future conduct,
with 4 basic rules: be "extremely frugal," "endeavour to speak the truth
in every instance," "apply myself industriously

himself into his new job, becoming, he said,
an "expert at selling." But that winter, his employer
took ill and died
