<York, April 16, 1778: Congress today empowered William
Bingham to draw on you for a maximum of 100,000 livres, so
that he may discharge debts incurred for the United States. He
will forward American newspapers with this letter, explain
why he should turn to you even though we have goods ready
for export, and tell you that we are most anxious for word from
you.>
