<Passy, July 16, 1778: We have instructed Lieut. Simpson, on
whom command of the Ranger devolves now that Capt. Jones
is on another service, to join you under your orders. The Boston,
Providence, and Ranger should put to sea with all dispatch.
Do your best to take or destroy British privateers within your
reach. Leave your prisoners as Mr. Schweighauser directs.>
