Your favor of the 11th. Inst. was handed me by the two french Gentlemen, Monsieurs Penet and De pleurne, for which I am exceedingly obliged to you. I have heard their proposals and plan, for supplying the Continent with Arms and Amunition, which appear plausible and to promise Success; But not thinking myself Authorised to Enter into any contract respecting the same and being not fully acquainted with the Measures Congress have adopted for procuring these Articles; I have prevailed upon them to go to Philadelphia and Recommended them and the Consideration of their plan to that Body, where the Matter will be finally agreed upon or rejected.
