AL (draft): Massachusetts Historical Society; two copies: National Archives
<Passy, August 31, 1778: We are pleased to hear from you of
the good success as well as the adventurous and patriotic spirit
of Capt. McNeill. When the prisoner exchange we have been
promised is accomplished, his prisoners can be exchanged for
a like number of our suffering countrymen. We will inform
you when the necessary passports arrive. We expect in a few
days new French regulations on prizes and prisoners; orders
have already been sent to keep the prisoners in French prisons.
Officers’ paroles have been generally taken.>
