I take the liberty of recommending to your attention to various other affairs about which I had the honor of talking with you.

1. M. Coder's business, which is very interesting and requires some haste.

2. The sailcloth and other merchandise, offered to supply either the Congress or individual ship-owners, at current prices, and to receive in payment papers from Congress.

3. The position without salary, of United States Consul in Normandy, for M. Gregoire, a respectable gentleman worthy of high recommendation.

4. Might there not be a way to exchange my great-nephew, taken prisoner by the English on the ship le d'Argentré, during his passage to America to serve as an officer in Georgia's troops? Isn't he consequently considered American, and in virtue of the cartel, exchangeable for an officer of the same rank, that is, a sub-Lieutenant of English troops? You would greatly oblige me and my entire family. I am with all my heart, with an inviolable attachment, Monsieur and dear friend, Your very humble and obedient servant
