J’ay reçu Monsieur La lettre que vous m’avez fait L’honneur de m’ecrire, et la copie que vous avez bien voulu m’addresser des resolutions prises le 16 aoust dernier par le congrés des etats unis de l’amerique septentrionale. Je me flatte Monsieur que vous ne doutez pas de mon empressement a concerter avec vous Les mesures ulterieures qu’elles pourront exiger; Des que Le Roy m’y aura authorisé; mais jusques a ce que Sa Majesté m’ait fait parvenir Ses ordres a cet egard, je ne puis que vous renouveller l’assurance de mon zéle pour tout ce qui interesse la cause commune de la france et de l’amerique Septentrionale, ainsi que celle de la Satisfaction particuliere que me procureront dans toutes Les circonstances mes relations avec vous.

I have received, sir, the letter which you have done me the honor to write me, and the copy which you have been so good as to address to me, of the resolutions taken on the 16th of last August by the congress of the United States of North America.

I flatter myself, sir, that you have no doubt of my earnestness to concert with you such ulterior measures as those resolutions may require, as soon as the king shall have authorized me; but until his majesty shall have transmitted to me his orders in this respect, I can only reiterate to you the assurance of my zeal for everything that interests the common cause of France and the United States of North America, as well as that of the particular satisfaction, which my relations with you will in all circumstances afford me.
