Franklin knows nothing of three men taken prisoner in America and now held in France. He is not aware of any circumstances "that might induce the Delegates of Virginia to desire their Detention" and has not received any related orders from Congress. Cannot oppose their parole and residence at Caen or their exchange "in pursuance of the Cartel." Also printed in John Graves Simcoe. A Journal of the Operations of the Queen's Rangers, From the End of the Year 1777 to the Conclusion of the Late American War (Exeter, 1787), Unnumbered Appendix, notes for page 183, line 20.
