From Frédéric Le Mesle
ALS: American Philosophical Society
<Dieppe, July 31, 1777, in French: I send you some verses in
praise of our brave islanders. If you think them worth offering
to the insurgent brethren, nothing more glorious could happen
to me. The truth is so satisfying to an honest soul that my
verses cost me nothing.>
