We transmit you some affidavits,[33] relating to the treatment of our prisoners, with a copy of our letter[34] to Lord Stormont, communicating them, and his insolent answer. We request you to present our duty to the Congress, and assure them of our most faithful services.
With great respect we have the honor to be, &c.
B. FRANKLIN,
SILAS DEANE.
