James Moylan to the American Commissioners
ALS: American Philosophical Society
<L’Orient, August 26, 1778: Capt. Daniel McNeill arrived here
yesterday on the General Mifflin, privateer. He left Portsmouth
May 8, cruised the north seas, and captured thirteen prizes
there and at the mouth of the Channel. Five he sunk, the rest
he sent to America or France; one [the Isabelle] arrived here.
He also has some fifty prisoners. Can they be exchanged for
Americans imprisoned in England?>
