Arthur Lee to John Paul Jones

Paris Jany. 17th 1778

Tho I approve in general of the precedeing Instructions, yet I cannot sign them, because they contain an order to put the sale of prizes into other hands than those of the commercial Agents, which I have always thought unjust; and recommend Mr. Goulard, tho’ that Gentleman and his Company have forfeited our confidence in the business already entrusted to them.

Arthur Lee

To Capt. Jones.
