George Washington to John Jay, 23 April 1779

George Washington to John Jay

Middlebrook [New Jersey] April 23, 1779. Asks why Continental frigates are kept in port. Asks if Conrad Alexandre Gérard is returning to France. Questions wisdom of supplying Bermudian ships with flour. Asks if “any thing … can be done to restore the credit of our currency.”
