I received yours offering the Govr. Livingston and mary fearon for the service of the United States. Understanding little about shipping, I leave those Matters to Mr. de Chaumont and Mr. Williams.

He is gone to Versailles to Day, where some Points are to be considered relating to The transport of the Goods, and he will be able to give you an Answer to morrow.

I have the honour to be &c.
