John Bondfield to the American Commissioners
ALS: American Philosophical Society
<Bordeaux, May 12, 1778: A ship from North Carolina has
brought tobacco, and a letter to me saying that Edenton has
become the port of America. The Boston is taking on provisions
and will leave soon; the expenses, despite every effort,
are becoming heavy, and she is short of seamen. Jersey privateers
infest the coast of Spain, but we hear of no British cruisers
in the Bay of Biscay.>
