1From Thomas Jefferson to John Harmanson, 10 February 1781 (Jefferson Papers)
I am sorry that the inattention of the Continental Officer Colo. Finnie and Major Forsythe to whom the provisions on your shore were transferred, should have given so much trouble to you and to us. We have interfered merely to save it to the Continent. On the same principle we must advise you to keep whatever will keep till you can get information from one of those Gentlemen what shall be done...
