I am sorry I cannot yet send you the Papers you desir’d. My Grandson has remain’d in the Country longer than I expected, and is still there. But I will send them to you at Paris by the first Opportunity, under Cover to Mr. Jefferson. Be pleased to present my Respects to him, and acquaint him that the Convention goes on well, and that there is hope of great Good to result from their Counsels. I intended to have wrote to him: but three Days Illness from which I have hardly recovered, have prevented me. Please to acquaint Mr. Short, too, that I received the Packets he was so kind as to send me, and am much oblig’d to him for his Care of them. I wish you a good Voyage, and every kind of Prosperity: being, with sincere Esteem, Dear Sir, Your most obedient and most humble Servant
