John Adams to Benjamin Franklin and John Jay (unpublished)
The Hague April 10. 1784
Gentlemen

Inclosed is Copy of a Letter from the Baron de Thulemeier and Copy of a Project of a Treaty transmitted to me by order of the King of Prussia: I should be glad if your Excellencies would examine it, and write me your objections, and proposals of alterations, which I shall immediately communicate to his Majesty through his Minister. I presume too that your Excellencies will transmit it to Congress that when they send a Commission to conclude, they may send their Instructions concerning any Changes to be made in the Project. Your Excellencies I flatter myself will think with me, that We Should execute the Treaty in our own, [Language] as well as in the French or German. I am Gentlemen, your

Their Excellencies Benjamin Franklin Esq and John Jay Esq. Ministers Plenipotentiary.
