Outlines arrangements he has made to ensure packages he is sending to Henry Knox will arrive to him safely. Relates that he has "packed the Epaulets in a little box by themselves" and entrusted them to the care of General Lafayette. Made the ship's captain aware of the gifts, and alerted Clement Biddle of their arrival should they land in Philadelphia. He also instructed a Mr. Du Quesne to give them to the local Quarter Master General should they arrive anywhere outside of Philadelphia, so they could be forwarded on to Knox. Adds, "Nothing further has transpired relative to Mr. Granville that can be depended on." Addressee is not mentioned, but is inferred from content. No location is given, but he may be near Rochefort, France [see GLC02437.01429, a letter from two days earlier, which locates William Knox at Rochefort].
