1To George Washington from Comte d’Ennery, 4 August 1776 (Washington Papers)
Although I have not the Honor to be known to your Excellency, I hope you will be good enough to release a French Officer, who like an inconsiderate Man, was taken in Canada, serving in the English Army against your Troops. I entreat you to set him at Liberty and suffer him to embark in some Vessel bound to the French Colonies, from whence he may get a Passage to France and rejoin his Regiment....
