[Footnote 18: From these receipts it would appear that the _Queen of
France_ was formerly the _Count d'Artois_. The James Dick who signs
one of the receipts had served on the _Lexington_ as midshipman, had
been a prisoner of war in Mill Prison, was exchanged, and served
on the _Alliance_ with Dale. See Calendar of Jones Manuscripts, p.
182. There were seven privateers or letters-of-marque named _Queen
of France_, of which the bonds are listed in the papers of the
Continental Congress in the Congressional Library.]
