From David Hartley (unpublished)
Hotel de Yorck Sept 2 1783
My Dear Friend

I find that the Answer which I received in form from the American Ministers to that note which I transmitted by Mr. Adams, means, that they will come to my Lodgings at Paris, tomorrow morning, for the purpose of signing the Treaty in Question. Mr. Adams and Mr. Jay understand it so and propose to come. Upon so great a Crisis leading to the Reconciliation of our two Countries I shall be very happy to see you too. I hope the inconvenience will not be very great to you, or in any degree commensurate to the occasion. I am ever Your Most affectionate friend

D Hartley
