TO THE COMMITTEE OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
Madrid, May 27th, 1780.
Gentlemen,
On the 27th of last month I had the pleasure of receiving your favor of the 11th of December, 1779, with copies of the resolutions of Congress, for drawing on Mr Laurens and myself for one hundred thousand pounds sterling each.
I had the honor of writing to Congress yesterday very fully respecting their affairs in this kingdom, and particularly on the subject of those resolutions.
I have not yet had the pleasure of hearing of Mr Lauren's arrival, about which I am anxious. Be pleased to assure Congress, that Mr Laurens shall receive from me every mark of attention, and all the aid in my power to afford. The latter I fear will not be great.
I have the honor to be, &c.
