The American Commissioners to Schweighauser
AL (draft): Massachusetts Historical Society; National Archives
<Passy, June 23, 1778: Thank you for your letter of the 18th
and its information about freight. We have ordered Captains
Whipple and Jones to return home, carrying as many arms and
stores as possible. Enclosed are Congressional resolutions to
govern you in distributing the prizes of the Providence and
Ranger; the Drake belongs wholly to the captors. We have a
prospect of exchanging prisoners.>
