To Sir James Jay (unpublished)
Passy, Nov. 28. 1782.
Sir,

I received the Letter you did me the Honour of writing to me the 27th past. I have no direct Powers from Congress to transact Exchanges, but have taken the Liberty in your Case, to absolve the Parole of Captain Francis Dundas, of the first Regimant, now a Prisoner on Parole in London, on Condition that yours be also fully discharged. You will know whether this Condition is comply’d with by applying to the Lord advocate of Scotland, who is his Uncle. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient and most humble Servant
