Ben Franklin Help

Folks-

This is not directly relevant to tuning but more than likely one of you out
there can help me. There is legend that Benjamin Franklin composed a
scordatura string ensemble piece (perhaps a quartet) to be played on only
open strings by amatuers. The actual authorship of this work is up to
various debates- but that is no concern to me- I need to see the music. I
was told it is available from the Libary of Congress -but if you have ever
tried to get any info from their web site you can appreciate my
frustration. Does anyone out there have a copy/page of this I can see? if
so please contact to me at my own address or fax
me at + 408 395-2648.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can assist-

Allen Strange
