LAFAYETTE.
COUNT DE FLORIDA BLANCA TO M. DE LAFAYETTE.
Translation.
Pardo, February 22d, 1783.
Sir,
I cannot comply better with your desire, than by asking your leave to give you here my answer. You have perfectly well understood whatever I have had the honor to communicate to you, with respect to our dispositions towards the United States. I shall only add, that although it is his Majesty's intentions to abide, for the present, by the limits established by the treaty of the 30th of November, 1782, between the English and the Americans, yet the King intends to inform himself particularly whether it can be in any ways inconvenient or prejudicial to settle that affair amicably with the United States.
I have the honor to be, &c.
COUNT DE FLORIDA BLANCA.
