Office of Foreign Affairs, November 26th, 1782.
Sir,
I have the honor to inform you, that Congress were pleased, on the 12th instant, to pass the enclosed resolution, by which they renew their appointment of Mr Jefferson, as Minister Plenipotentiary for negotiating a peace.
Mr Jefferson's established character, his abilities and the honorable offices he has sustained with reputation in this country, leave no room to doubt that this appointment will be highly acceptable to your Court, when you shall have placed them in that favorable point of view, in which, I persuade myself, you take a pleasure in representing them.
I have the honor to be, &c.
ROBERT R. LIVINGSTON.
TO ROBERT R. LIVINGSTON.
