The American Commissioners to Schweighauser
AL (draft): Massachusetts Historical Society; two copies: National Archives
<Passy, June 10, 1778: We approve your refusal to pay William
Morris 1,200 l.t.; pay no one without our orders. Give the captains
goods, for repairing their ships or feeding their men, and
a suit of clothes for each to be charged against his pay. Dispose
of Captain Whipple’s prize, if she arrives, as you and he think
best. Let us know what we should pay for freighting the Flamand
with the merchandise we have on hand, so that we may
know whether the ship is worth hiring.>
