From Jonathan Williams, Jr. (unpublished)
Nantes Decr 2. 1783.
Dear and honored sir.

Mr. Barclay in consequence of his Commission from Congress as Auditor General of Accounts, has applied to me for all my public Accounts to be lodged in the Consular Office. As I have already lodged with you the originals of my public Accounts from the beginning to the End of my being in the public service, I have referred him to you for those Originals, and I doubt not you will agree to the propriety of delivering them to Mr. Barclay. I have in the mean time furnished him with Copies of those settled by Arbitration, having two by me, and one of the Receipts you gave me Per quadruplicate. For the Balance of two thousand and sixty Livres one sol and seven deniers dated Augt 26. 1779 I am as ever most dutifully and affectionately Yours.

Jona. Williams
