I received yours by Major Franks, which I shall answer fully per Saturday's Post. The Letters you sent me of Capt. Gillon & Mr. Searle, give me, as you expected, abundance of Chagrin. I am afraid that Gillon will loiter at Corunna as he did at Amsterdam, and sell the Goods of the United States as he did those of the State of South Carolina to defray his Expences, and run away in the same manner leaving many of his Creditors unpaid. I beg you would assist Capt Jackson (whose Letter to me is inclosed) in the Measures you & he may think proper to take for securing our Property. M. de Vergennes has kindly given me a Letter to Comte de Montmorin to the same purpose which I inclose. I can now only add that I am with the sincerest Esteem, Dear Sir, Your most obedient & most humble Servant
