Dear Sir

I have the honor to transmit you a letter from the United States in Congress to his most Christian Majesty, together with a copy for your perusal, I also enclose a Resolution of Congress on the subject of Mr Lee’s demands, which you will see carried into effect—nothing of moment has occured, since I last wrote you, it is very long since we have heard from Europe— We wait for your dispatches with some degree of impatience— I hope they will be sufficiently particular to answer our expectations.

I have the honor to be Sir with great Respect & Esteem your most obedt. humble Servant

Robt. R Livingston
