Papers of Fulwar Skipwith, 1790-1796.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/50787273

The papers contain claims filed by Skipwith with Citizen Ramel, French Minister of Finance, particularly regarding the ship "Charlotte." Letters from Joseph Pitcairn to Ramel concern shipments to France by Colonel William S. Smith which were either seized by the British or not paid by the French. Of interest is a letter from William Short, 1790 June 18, assuring the French government that United States secretary of state Thomas Jefferson and the United States Congress are grateful for French loans and desire to repay, together with a copy of a resolution from the U.S. House of Representatives concerning the payment of foreign debt.
