Milord Rochford presents his compliments to Monsieur Garnier and has the honor to inform him that Milord Stormont is authorised to pay to the person designated by the Count of Vergennes the forty three thousand five hundred and sixty pounds in French money, the entire amount for the damages which the French fishermen claimed to have suffered in Newfoundland in the year 1772.

Milord Rochford is convinced that the promptitude with which the King His Master has rendered justice for the subjects of France in this occasion will be considered as a new proof of His constant desire to strenghten the good relations between the two courts.

At Saint James, this fourth of March 1775.
