Mr. de Sartine having granted an Order for the Release of the American Sailors, now in Confinement at Coutances, I have written to them that they may draw on me for two hundred and forty Livres for their Relief, and to bear their Expences to Nantes. I beg the favour of you to assist these poor Men in finding some Person who will advance the Money to them upon their Bill, which shall be punctually paid here upon Sight. I have the honour to be Sir &c. Mr. Le Greffier de l’Amirauté de Countences.
