The American Commissioners to John Bondfield
AL (draft): Massachusetts Historical Society; copy: National Archives
<Passy, June 4, 1778: We have received your accounts for supplying
the Boston; some of the articles are dear, but we trust
you to obtain everything as cheaply as possible. Your bills will
be paid, and we hope the ship has left by now. You tell us of a
plot against her, and we have forwarded the affidavit to the
ministry; Capt. Tucker has dealt with the guilty men on board,
we trust, and the authorities with the guilty ashore. We seem
to have a junto of enemies in the neighborhood.>
