Two documents, one the "copy" of the statment from the other made by Francis Richette and the Court of Admiralty. Richette, "the Owner of two thirds parts of the Schooner Girard now in the Port of Philadelphia... &that Francis Garreau is the Owner of the remaining third part thereof" states that he intends to "send her a Voyage to Sea, to wit to Charlston (sp) South Carolina & that the said Francis Garreau wholly disagrees thereto & refuses to join your Petitioner in fitting out & navigating the said Schooner." On the reverse of the original, a note is added and signed by Francis Hopkinson (1737 - 1791) summoning Garreau to the Court of Admiralty March 12th 1787. From the Francis Hopkinson Family Archives
