Benjamin Franklin to —— Rinquin, February 9, 1780

Passy, feb. 9. 1780.

Sir

I received the Letters you did me the honour of writing to me the 21st. of January and The 2d. of this Instant; with The Proces Verbaux relating to The ships the Jacques Thomas, and The Camden, both of which I judge from the Said Procés to be good Prizes; as also those which were ransomed and for which William Hillier and Robert Story were Hostages. 2 At the Request of Mr. Torris of Dunkerque, I have sent these judgements with others to him. With great Regard I have the honour to be sir, &c.

M. Rinquin, Greffier de L’amiraute à Morlaix.
