This will be delivered to you by the honble. Mr. Pinckney Member of Congress for South Carolina, and one of our late Assembly des Notables for framing a new federal Constitution. He is a Gentleman whom I highly esteem, and I think our Friend Mr. de Malesherbes as well as yourself will be much pleased with his Conversation, as he is perfectly acquainted with our public affairs. I am rejoiced to hear from you that Mr. de Malesherbes is again in the Ministry. The King does himself honour by the Choice of such wise and good Men, to serve the Public in great Offices, and it bodes Good to the Nation. I recommend warmly to your Civilities this worthy American, and beg you to believe me ever, Yours m. a. &ca
