The officers of the companies composing the Philadelphia regiment, being met, chose me for their colonel; but, conceiving myself unfit, I declin'd that station, and recommended Mr. Lawrence, a fine person, and man of influence, who was accordingly appointed. I then propos'd a lottery to defray the expense of building a battery below the town, and furnishing it with cannon. It filled expeditiously, and the battery was soon erected, the merlons being fram'd of logs and fill'd with earth. We bought some old cannon from Boston, but, these not being sufficient, we wrote to England for more, soliciting, at the same time, our proprietaries for some assistance, tho' without much expectation of obtaining it.

白话
费城团各连的军官开会,选我当上校;但我觉得自己不合适,就推辞了,推荐劳伦斯先生,他是个好人,也有影响力,于是被任命了。然后我提议发行彩票,支付在城下建炮台和购置大炮的费用。彩票很快卖完,炮台也很快建起来,垛口用原木框住,填上土。我们从波士顿买了一些旧炮,但不够,又写信到英国要更多,同时请求领主们资助,虽然没抱太大希望。
上下文
富兰克林在自传中回忆费城为防御需要而组建民兵、修建炮台和筹集资金的过程。
今日一问
面对社区的安全或公共需求,你能否像富兰克林那样用创新的筹资方式(如彩票)并动员各方资源?
