James Moylan to the American Commissioners
ALS: American Philosophical Society
<Lorient, August 1, 1778: The Boston and her three prizes
sailed this morning. Captain Tucker accidentally mentioned to
me your orders to load some goods, but as the wind was fair
he decided not to wait for them. I can freight them for you at
reasonable terms on a French ship I am sending to America
next month. I am much obliged to Mr. Franklin for advancing
Mr. Ogden 8 guineas which I desire my friend in Paris to
repay him.>
