To Vergennes (unpublished)
Passy, May 23. 1783
Sir

I beg leave to recommend earnestly to your Excellency’s Attention the enclos’d Petition and Papers from Mr. Price, an honest worthy American, who was to my Knowledge very serviceable to our Army in Canada, and much esteemed by the Congress. I shall be very thankful if you can procure for him the Order he desires. With great Respect, I am Sir, Your Excellency’s most obedient and most humble Servant
