This letter was originally given the date of 7 Sept. because of the notation by JA at the top of the first page: "7e. 7bre 1778." This may have been the date on which the Commissioners received the letter, but there is no indication that the document ever bore a date in the hand of Boisbertrand. See Acc. 8961, which immediate follows.
