Abstract:
Glad to hear of McNeill's recovering health. Accepts his offer of cash, "as we are really Distressed for, that Article." Grants McNeill liberty to give orders regarding Captain Moran. "I wish it was In your power to bestow happiness &c., but the Guilty Con[s]ciences, of those lukewarm wretches Joined to the frowns of their Country must be Sufficient to blast, them unless they are Callous." Hopes McNeill can come soon and that the year will end "more propitious, than the last, who we have met a Severe Check, I believe the last years balance greatly in our favour." Published in William Bell Clark, ed., Naval Documents of the American Revolution, Vol. 3 (Washington, D.C.: 1968), p. 840-841. Donated by Peggy Harrington, from the collection of Kevin Harrington, 2014.
