Jonathan Williams, Jr., to the American Commissioners
ALS: American Philosophical Society
<Nantes, April 18, 1778: I have received yours of the 13th, and
will make no new commitments without your orders; you will
I hope, honor my drafts for those already made. The workmen
are repairing the less damaged weapons; repairing them all
would take at least two years. If the operation were stopped,
and the men sent back to Liège, the remaining arms would be
useless. When I come to Paris I will tell you more.>
