Thomas Barclay to Benjamin Franklin, December 16, 1783

From Thomas Barclay
To Benjamin Franklin
December 16, 1783

Thomas Barclay addresses Benjamin Franklin regarding claims by Messrs. Forsters and Puchelberg on U.S. property, emphasizing adherence to established international customs rather than treating the matter as a private dispute. He clarifies that previous examinations of the debt do not confirm its validity and offers to settle and certify the account when requested. Barclay also disputes reports that he defended the case in the Court at L’Orient, attributing any defense there to another party.
