Jonathan Jr Williams to American Commissioners, February 3, 1778

Nantes Feb. 3. 1778.

Honorable Gentlemen

I have been for several Days down to the Ship and left her at St. Nazare. I have done with both the French Ships. I beg you will please to apply for an order to wait in Quiberon ’till all the Ships join else I am afraid the Brune will be left. 4

Poor Mr. Morris has finished his affairs in this world. I am much concerned at being absent, but every care was taken of him and all possible Respect paid to his Remains. I am with the greatest Respect Honorable Gentlemen Your most obedient Servant
