- Containers:
- Box 5, Folder 8
- Scope and content:
-
I congratulate you on the happy effects of your glorious achievements (birth of Anne Frances Tucker). You were so late in answering my letter that I fear I will not be able to take Richard (Randolph). During your delay, a gentleman from Gloucester made proposals to pay me in the way which was the chief inducement to me. Griffin wrote me that further commissioners were expected from good authority to grant everything we desired, only to treat separately from France.
