Sir
Cap^t Murray has expectations of being exchanged for Cap^t
Frazier of the Prize taken by Cap^t Sanders, and thinks it
may be immediately brought about by sending Capt. Frazier
up to Philadelphia; you will therefore give Cap^t Frazier up
to Capt. Murray or the Person he may appoint to receive him
for the Purpose of carrying him to Philadelphia.
Gen^l Gist.

[Council to Bradford.]

In Council Annapolis 4^th Feb^y 1779
Sir.
A Privateer from New York a few Days ago, took a Vessel
from S^t Eustatia, bound and belonging to Virginia; the
Captors immediately manned her and, far within the Cape she
attacked Cap^t Sanders in a Sloop, a private armed Vessel
owned in this State; Cap^t Sanders proved too hard for the
Assailants and retook the Virginian; we have ordered the
Prize Master or Captain, one Frazier to Philadel^a with
Intention that he should be exchanged for Cap^t Alexander
Murray who was taken in Novem^r in the Brig Saratoga,
owned in this State, by the Unicorn Frigate, and has been per-
mitted to come out of New York on Parole. We apprehend
there can be no Objection to the Exchange; we have desired
and shall be obliged to you for having it effected as soon as
may be.
