Gentlemen

I am sorry that the things to which I objected having been continued in the Instructions for Capt. Jones prevent me from giving my signature to them except in the manner which I have the honor to send you. 3 I am Gentlemen with great esteem Your most Obedient Servant

Arthur Lee

N.B. I shall go to Versailles to-day; if there is any thing I can do there, be so good as to send me a Note with it. Benjamin Franklin & Silas Deane Esqrs.
