[W Paca in Council to His Exc^y The Presid^t of the Delaware State.]

Captⁿ Levin Handy, an Officer of the Barges fitted out by this
State, and a Prisoner to the Enemy's Barges, informs us, that a
Captⁿ W^m Aug. Perry who captured him, is now a Prisoner to your
State. We have the Honor to solicit the Favor of your Excellency,
to suffer Cap^t Perry to be exchanged for Captⁿ Handy, should you
have no Officer in the Hands of the Enemy, whom you are desirous
of exchanging. We are the more anxious to be indulged in this Re-
quest, as Captⁿ Handy is a meritorious Officer, whose Services are
immediately wanted for the Defence of our Bay. We beg you to be
persuaded we shall be happy in an Opportunity of showing the like
Attention to the deserving Citizens of your State
