Refers to a letter he received from Colonel Franois-Marie, comte d'Aboville (see GLC02437.01365), who commands French artillery in Virginia. Aboville mentions 14 artillery cannon belonging to the State of Virginia which do not have carriages or ammunition and are in poor repair. Argues that these cannons would not be useful to Virginia, since they could not repair or equip them, but that the United States forces are in dire need of cannon for an artillery battery and could make them serviceable. Encourages General Washington to pursue a trade with the State of Virginia and give them small arms, or something similar, in exchange, or else to purchase or borrow the cannon from Virginia. Adds that he should obtain them quickly and bring them to Burlington for the ensuing campaign.
