Pray deliver the inclosed to Capt. Barney if he is in Paris.—I am sorry you have done nothing in the affair of Mr. de la Ville, If the Request was an improper one, a word to me would have been satisfactory.—Pray return me all the Papers annexed to the Memoire as the Capt. is about departing & for want of Lettres de Capitaine himself is obliged to put his Vessel under the name of another. I am most affectionately Yours
