<Bordeaux, March 28, in French: Felicitations on being received
by the King; the whole nation pays tribute to your character.
We were among the first to look forward with confidence
to what now astonishes the world; our fate is bound by the
strongest ties to that of America, and we offer you our complete
devotion.>
