Your very Obliged and most humble Servt.
JNO. P. JONES
EDITOR'S NOTE: In a letter to Mr. Hewes, dated January 12, 1777,
Jones, in speaking of Hopkins, writes of the latter calling himself a
Commodore, "this _Commodore_ is altogether unfit to command a Frigate
of thirty-two Guns." See Calendar of Jones Manuscripts, Library of
Congress, pp. 15-16, 20-22.
