Franklin along with Adams, Jefferson, Sherman, and Livingston were assigned to the committee to draft a declaration justifying the decision for independence. 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." Besides gout Franklin suffered from rashes, boils, and related lesions. Jefferson sat down to write and would send a message to Franklin " Will Doctor Franklin be so good to peruse it and suggest such alterations as his more enlarged view of the subject will dictate?" He treated Jefferson's writing gently and suggested changes, but Congress was more harsh.
