Dumas to the American Commissioners
ALS: American Philosophical Society
<The Hague, August 18, 1778, in French: Nothing worthy of
writing has occurred since I last wrote. I visit the French
ambassador daily and, through him, received the Gazette
de Yorktown that Mr. Franklin had entrusted the Chevalier
[Georges Grand] to forward to me. Today’s Gazette de Leide is
filled with its contents. I’m enclosing a copy of a letter I sent
yesterday to Mr. van Berckel. My friends’ vessel has left.>
