Horneca, Fizeaux & Cie. to the American
Commissioners

<Amsterdam, December 24, 1778, in French: We did not receive
your letter of December 6 until the 15th. We have already
told Sir Georges Grand, currently in Paris, that we
have as yet placed only fifty-one promissory notes, but we
have no doubt of eventual success if we are patient. By forcing
things we will only undermine our credit; please trust us.
We await your further orders.>
