The American Commissioners to John Ross
Copies: Massachusetts Historical Society, National Archives (two)
<Passy, April 13, 1778: We are unable to comply with your
request because the papers are Mr. William Lee’s; he is in
Frankfurt, where you may be able to reach him by letter. Neither
can we make further advances. We wish you to account
for the goods bought with the funds we provided, but we cannot
make a complete settlement; the money with Mr. Schweighauser
under Mr. Robert Morris’ orders should be spent according
to those orders. We do not think proper to give you
the passports for which you ask.>
