<The Hague, May 19, 1778, in French: From my letter of May
7-15 you will have learned of my progress in publicizing the
friendly disposition of the United States. The Grand Pensionary
has been most adroit. We believe that he shares our views;
he has given copies of your letter in private to all the members
of the provincial estates, and is waiting for a copy of the treaty
of amity and commerce.>
