Messrs. Franklin and Deane present their Compliments to Mr. Stevenson. His Supposition that they have changed their Intention of sending their Dispatches by him to Congress is a Mistake, as they never had or express’d such an Intention, having before engag’d Mr. Carmichael to undertake that Service. As the carrying them to Nantes is a Matter of considerable Trust, they would have been glad if Mr. Stevenson had been kind enough to have perform’d it for them: and are sorry he should have refused it on a Supposition of their having treated him ungenteely, a Supposition that they think has no Foundation.
