- Summary
- Acknowledge receipt of a letter dated Board of Treasury of the United States, New York, 23 September 1785, directing them to deliver undistributed bonds and pay balance due on United States bonds to Messrs. Wilhem & Jan Willink against their receipts. The Staphorsts regret that they are unable to comply because of their ignorance of Mr. Arthur Lee's official authority to make such a request. They intend to write to the Secretary for Foreign Affairs of the United States concerning the matter.
