<Ranger, Brest, June 10, 1778: One of the Ranger’s prizes was, I
understand, sold in Bordeaux by Messrs. Delap. I wrote to request
that the captors’ share be sent to Mr. Williams at Nantes,
so that it might be divided before the Ranger left, but my letter
was not answered. Please give orders for the money to be remitted
forthwith.>
