From the Comte de Mercy-Argenteau (unpublished)
Translation
Paris 28th. September 1784.
Sir,

With Respect to the Proposition of the United States of America, that I forwarded to my Court, concerning the Arrangements of Commerce to be adopted by the respective Dominions, I have received the Order, Sir, which I have the Honor to communicate to you, that his Majesty the Emperor has agreed to the said Proposition, and that he has directed the Government General of the Low Countries to adopt Measures to put it in Execution.

When the Particulars respecting this Matter shall be sent me I shall instantly communicate them, I avail myself of this opportunity to renew the Assurances of the most perfect Attachment, with which I have the Honor to be, &c.

(signed) Mercy Argenteau
