Summary
Saying "Our news from Philadelphia entirely confirms my Conjecture, as well as the opinion that I have given to you that the President w'd put an end to the mission to France - the Dispatches from you have been laid before Congress, and are published - there seems to be but one mind, which is worthy of our Country, respecting the treatment that you have experienced."
