Title

Update on the Manning of Cutters and Politics in France

Description

There is a better prospect of the frigate being properly manned. The officers thus far appointed seem to be a good crew. Higginson states they want the "usual arrangements" for service, as far as men, marines, regulations and rations are concerned. They news from Nantes is that Marshal is there and Pinckney was expected. Gerry remained in Paris.
