Relief for American Prisoners Fund Seeks Public Help
The American Prisoners for Relief group reports about 300 prisoners in England await exchange since no American prisoners are held in English custody. Donations from March 31 reveal gifts from Duke of Grafton, George Savile, and others to support exchange efforts. Messages of aid arrive via Rev. Mr. Wren and several lenders at Lombard Street banks in London.
