Your Letter of the 30th arrived here on Saturday so that tomorrow’s Post is the first by which it is possible to inclose what you desire— I had been decieved in supposing that you had only had a Copy of the English Part of the Treaty taken, & for that Reason did not send you a List of the Errata with my first Letter— They are at present forwarded Sir & I have only to regret that you do not recieve them sooner. You will see that in the two Copies of the Treaty there are different Errata. I know not which is the one that Mr. Storer followed but suppose it will be easily discovered by a Comparison— I am very sorry that those Faults have been admitted by the Amanuensis as it must efface the Original in some Measure to correct them.1

No Answer has as yet come from Mr. Jefferson, so that I think it probable he has waited until he could consult with you on the Subject.2

I have this Moment Sir recieved Information from the Baron de Thulemeier that his Court permits him to recieve the Treaty in English & French but instructs him only to exchange for it an Exemplaire in French— The Baron mentions that recieving the Treaty in the two Languages is a Concession on the Part of his Majesty the K of P—& he hopes we will be induced to accept in Exchange what alone he is authorized to offer.— But this is no more than what the Baron offered to do at our first Interview so that his Powers on this Subject have not been enlarged in Consequence of his writing to Berlin since my Arrival here.— Thus circumstanced Sir I rather suppose it will be necessary to cede this Point—although I shall do it with Reluctance & not without trying other Means as it seems to be desired by you to have the Treaty exchanged in the two Languages.

I am extremely sorry to hear of your Indisposition, as I assure you Sir I feel in common with every good Citizen of America an earnest Concern for your present Health, & join your Friends in Wishes for your constant Happiness.

I have the Honor to be with Sentiments of the great- / est Respect / Your Excellency’s / most obedient & most humble Servant

I did myself the honour of writing you from Harwich and Amsterdam—1 we have been very unfortunate as to roads & weather and were not able to reach Bresleau, time enough for the Review there— those of this place and at Potsdam will be finished about the 20th. when I shall attempt a rapid passage to London by the way of Paris, I shudder at the Idea of tresspassing too far upon your indulgence— but I know you will make every allowance particularly when you consider, that I have passed the period of rediculous dissipation, 408and am now in the pursuit of knowledge and improvement— I hope to be honoured with your commands at Paris—where my stay will be 6 hours or 6 day’s, as may appear most consistant with your wishes— to save the expence of postage I shall Copy instead of inclosing my Letter to the King of Prussia, requesting his Permission to attend the review of His troops, and His Majesty’s answer—2

Your Majesty’s Military Fame, and the reputation of Your Armies, induced me to leave London early in August, with an intention of being present at the review of your troops at this place and at Potsdam— I shall be happy if my intentions should meet with Your majesty’s Approbation, and hope to be honoured with your permission to attend them— I am Sire—with the highest respect / Your Majesty’s &c.

to which his Majesty was pleased to return the following ansr

“Je serai bien aise, de vous voir, aux manœuvr d’ici. La permission, que vous venis de demander, pour y assister, vous est accordié; & Je prie Sur ce Dieu, Mr. le Cólonel Smith, qu’il vous ait en sa sainte & digne garde.

au Colonel Smith, au service des Etates unis d’Amerique, á Berlin[”]

with my most respectful Compliments to the Ladies I am / Sir / Your most Obedient / Humble Servt.
