From Elias Boudinot (unpublished)
Philadelphia 9th. Sept. 1783
Sir,

Being by accident at this City and an opportunity offering, I do myself the honor of enclosing a duplicate of the ratification of the Treaty with Sweden, the original of which I transmitted some time since; but not having the copy of the letter attending it by me I am prevented from sending the duplicate of it, unless this opportunity is risked.

I am happy to enclose you some Resolutions of the Assembly of Pennsylvania, by which you will see, that all the difficulties that arose on account of the mutiny have happily subsided, without producing the least ill consequences.

The Soldiers were very penitent and two of the Serjeants are now undr sentence of death, but I beleive will be pardoned by Congress on account of the means used by Capt. Carberry and Lieutenant Sullivan to induce those poor Wretches to behave as they did, under expectations of great personal advantages. I hope these two Officers will meet with proper detestation from all good Men. I have the honor to be &c.

E. B.

The Honorable Benjamin Franklin, Esq. Minister Plenipo. &c. Paris
