I am sending the Boston Gazette back to you, Monsieur; I have translated from it M. Washington's letter which seemed good to publish in order to counter the English accounts which will doubtless appear soon. I also retranslated the capitulation of Burgoyne, making use of the liberty you gave me to do so. It now seems to me necessary to add to these two pieces— which I am going to finish up while waiting for your response in order not to delay their sending to the Journal— as I was saying, I thought it necessary to add a slightly more detailed note about the events preceding the capitulation, than appears in the translations which you returned to me, and maybe something about the first activities of M. Washington's Army. If you would please mark in pencil on the two letters which I will attach here, the places which you think need more elaboration, I will translate them right away, and I will send them without delay to the Journal with the first two pieces. I have the honor of being, with the most sincere affection, Monsieur, Your very humble and obedient servant
