Is translating enclosures contained in his letter into Spanish. Oc- 

 cupies a pavillion of the house in which the Prince of Masseran lived 

 last year; is pleased to hear of the Princess's remembrance of him. Is 

 on a friendly footing with all the foreign Secretaries. Knew Mr. [John] 

 Adams's visit to Paris was on account of the proposed conferences for 

 peace; is not surprised at his silence towards Dr. Franklin. Deplores 

 the jealousy displayed by the American envoys towards each other and 

 their lack of cooperation. If Comte de Grasse has a favorable passage, 

 a blow may be struck at the headquarters of toryism in America. No

 Franklin on it. A. L. S. 2 p. CIII, 91.
