<Versailles, July 14, 1778, in French: The inhabitants of the
islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon may receive few or no supplies,
and be in great distress, if some of the victualers I have
sent are intercepted; and by the time we hear of it there will
be no remedy. I have told the local authorities that they may
depend on assistance from the United States, and the King
would be glad if you would recommend, especially to the government
of Boston, sending them supplies.>
