The American Commissioners to Thomas Simpson
AL (draft): Massachusetts Historical Society; copy: National Archives
<Passy, June 3, 1778: We have had several letters from you and
certificates from officers and others about the charge on which
you have been confined. Our giving an opinion of it would be
improper, but we have asked Capt. Jones to release you on
parole, so that you may go to Nantes and take passage to
America to stand trial by court martial.>
