<Passy, November 12, 1778: In view of the magnitude of the
alliance between France and the United States, we conceive it
would be highly pleasing to our constituents to have a portrait
of His Majesty to be kept where Congress sits; if you are of
opinion this would give no offense, we request your kind offices
to procure pictures of their Majesties, the king and
queen.>
