INCLOSED are five letters, which if you will give a place in

THIS will be handed you by Captain Daniel Aborn, and
Dodor J<<cph Bowen, who, agreeable to your petition
to his Excellency Rear-Admiral Digby, have been permitted
to goout, and are now returned from General Wallington's
Head Quarters, where they delivered your petition to him,
represented your disagreeable fituanon at this extreme hot sea
son ofthe year, and in your names Solicited his Excellency to
grant you speedy relief, by exchanging you for a part of the
British soldiers, prifonets in his hands, the only possible means
in his power to effect it. ~..
Mr. Aborn, and the Doctor, wait on you with his answer,
which I am sorry to fay is a flat denial. ~
Inclofed I fend you copies of three letters which have passed
between Mr. Skinner And me on the occasion, which will con
vince you that every thing has been done on the part of Admir
al Digby, to bring about a fair and general exchange of pn
foners on both tides.

SIR, New-York, Ift June, 1782.
W' HEN I last saw you at Elizabeth-Town, 1 mentioned
the bad conference, which in all probability would
take place in the hot weather, if an exchange of prisoners was
not agreed to by the commiffipners 011 tne part of Geneiai
Wafhingtotu . ~, , , , ..
His Excellency Rear- Admiral Digby has ordered me tc in
form you, that the very great increase of prisoners, <and heat
of the weather, now baffle all our care and antnriOTT±7-kccp
them healthy: Five ships have been taken up tor their recep
tion, to present being crouded, and a great number permitted
%r\xta°lnd during the cold weather, they lived comfor
tablv bcinfffullyApplied with warm clothing, blankets, e<c.
purchased with the Volley which I collected fro? the charitable
people of this city; but now the weather requires a frefl! sup
^v-fomething light and suitable to the feafon-for which you
will b* pleased to make the necessary provihon ; as it is impossi
ble for them to be healthy in the rags they now wear, without
a finale fliift of eloathing to keep themselves clean. Humanity,
sympathy, my duty and orders oblige me to troupe you again
on this disagreeable fubjeft, to request you wdl lose no t^e in
laying this their situation before his Excellency General M alh
ngto^, who, I hope, will listen to the cues a dfflftl peo
ple and grant them (as well as the B^fo prisoners in his hands)
relief, by contenting to a general and immediate exchange.

r^ROM the present situation ofthe American naval priioners
r on board vour prison ihips, lam induced to propose to
you the exchange of as many of them as I can give you British
naval prisoners for ; leaving the balance already due to you to
be paid when in our power. I could with this to be represented
to his Excellency Rear Admiral Digby, and that the proposal
could be acceded to, as it would relieve many of those diftreft
men and be confident with the humane purposes of our office.
I will admit that we are unable at prelent, to give you sea
man for seaman and thereby relieve the prison ihips of their
Dreadful burthen ; but it oughtto be remembered that there is
al^e balance of British foldiers* due to the United-States,
since February last, and that as we have it in our power, we
^av be difoofedto place the British soldiers who are now in our
possession in as disagreeable a situation as thole men are on

induced to offer to exchange them firft ; and until this is done
cannot consent to vour proposal of a partial exchange, leaving
the remainder, as well as the British prisoners in your hands to
linger in confinement. 1
Confeious ofthe American pnfoners under my dire^on, be

fend soldiers in exchange for us, is frankly denied.
