Franklin had little to do with the first draft which was left to Jefferson ( Adams stated that Jefferson could "write ten times better than I.") partly because Jefferson was a Virginian and because none of the committee appreciated what an important document it would become. Franklin was also happy to leave the task to another. He stated " I am just recovering from a severe fit of gout, which has kept me from Congress and company almost ever since you left us."

He treated Jefferson's writing gently and suggested changes, but Congress was more harsh.
