Dumas to the American Commissioners

<The Hague, December 8, 1778, in French: English funds
[government bonds] have fallen in value, and letters from England
increase the qualms of those holding them. Amsterdam
has printed and distributed copies of its protest against the
resolution of November 18. This has shocked the English
party. This morning the French ambassador gave me a copy
of the enclosed memoir which has been sent to all the towns
and provinces. The States of the Province of Holland will
reconvene on the 16th. I do not doubt that there will be a new
resolution in accordance with the memoir.>
