Hi!
 
Can anyone help me identify the source of the inscription on this photo  
taken from a web blog and accessed via google pictures:
 

 
The odometer is depicted on a number of sites but I have only found it with 
 the additional text - Here is the odometer he gave to Thomas Jefferson - 
on an  obscure blogsite. Does anyone know if the inscription is true or where 
the  original information came from?
 
[Franklin + odometer = 3 views of same but no text]
[Jefferson + odometer = 3 views of same, one with this  text]
[Image comes from _pigtown-design.blogspot.com_ 
(http://pigtown-design.blogspot.com/2009/07/maira-kalman-benjamin-franklin.html)
  but no  indication of 
source and I suspect a dead end.]
 
Many thanks
 
Kit
