<Passy, August 25[-27], 1778: We will propose tomorrow to
the count de Vergennes the subjects of the loan in Genoa and
the interposition of His Majesty with the powers of Barbary.
P.S.: The count de Vergennes gave us no encouragement in
the affair of the loan. The other matter will be the subject of a
proposed written memorial.>
