New York, August 7, 1776.
[Extract]
I have transmitted a Copy of a Letter from Mr. Jona. Glover, setting forth the nature and Grounds of a dispute between him and a Mr. [John] Bradford respecting their Agency.2 Not conceiving myself Authorized, nor having the smallest inclination to interfere in any degree in the matter; It is referred to Congress, who shall determine and give direction upon it in such manner as they will Judge best. I will only observe, that Mr. Glover was recommended to me as a proper person for an Agent when we first fitted out Armed Vessels and was accordingly appointed one, and so far as I know, discharged his Office with fidelity and Industry.
