TO RALPH IZARD.
Passy, 26th September, 1778.
Sir,
Last evening we had the honor of an answer from the Count de Vergennes to our letter respecting your goods. We enclose a copy of it to you, and believe it will be advisable for you to wait on M. de Sartine; perhaps he may, at first, recollect the article of the treaty, as M. de Vergennes appears not to have done.
We have the honor to be, with great respect, &c.
B. FRANKLIN,
ARTHUR LEE,
JOHN ADAMS.
