1. Brown was captain of Dolphin.

2. Nantes merchant Jean Peltier Du Doyer.

3. Letter not found; presumably Thomas Thompson, captain of the Continental Navy frigate Raleigh, had been summoned for a matter relating to the possible sale of Dolphin. On the sale of Dolphin, see Silas Deane to Jonathan Williams, Jr., 15 Nov. 1777, NDAR 10: 994 and n.

4. This was probably the carpenter identified as “Honoré” in the Supplementary Account of Continental Navy Cutter Dolphin, 6 Jan. 1778, NDAR 11: 878. In Williams’ account book, there is an entry for February 1778 that reads “3^d. p^d. Honora’s Bill.” CtY, Jonathan Williams’s Account Books, p. 19.
