The American Commissioners to David Hartley (unpublished)
Passy, 13th. Augt. 1783.
Sir,

We have received the Letter which you did us the honour to write on the 12th. Inst. and shall take the first Opportunity of conveying to Congress the agreable Information contained in it.

The Sentiments and Sensations which the re-establishment of Peace between our two Countries, ought to diffuse thro’ both, lead us to participate in the Pleasure which the Birth of a Princess must naturally give to the Royal Family and People of Great Britain; and we sincerely congratulate their Majesties, on that Addition to their Domestic Happiness. We have the honour to be, with great Regard, Sir Your most obedient and very humble Servants.

John Adams.
