I send you the enclosed Copy of a letter from the Marquis de Castries to my Grandfather, it seeming in some Respect to answer the Request you lately made in your letter to Mr. Necker, which was duly sent to him. I have underlined the Part which appears to me applicable.

M. De la Touche Treville alloit rosser les Anglois; mais on leur a donné Grace. Yours etc.
