Notes:

John Paul Jones Papers, 8:7722
In the Jones Papers this document is undated and the origin of the assigned date is unknown. The date is probably erroneous, for JA's unsent letter to Landais of 20 June implies that Franklin's request for advice had not yet been received. This copy has been redated [ante 26 June] and RC of that date will be used for printed text.
