I have received the honour of your Letter dated March 31, 1784 with the Enclosures, which I have communicated to his Majesty’s Ministers. I have the Pleasure to inform you that the Ratification on our Part is now making out, and that I have received Orders to prepare for the Exchange at Paris with all convenient Speed.

Before my Departure I shall propose such general Sentiments for the Consideration of his Majesty’s Ministers as have occured to me in our former Negotiations; my utmost Wish at all times being to give every possible assistance in my Power to effect a cordial and conciliatory Intercourse and Connexion between our Countries. I have the honour to be Gentlemen, your Excellency’s most obedient humble Servant
