Dear Sir

I have only one moment to write you Pr this Post, M^r Chaumont writes M^r Peltier which he will communicate to you, it is really surprizing how I should be so misunderstood by M^r Peltier—but my Letter Pr M^r. Ross shall explain it meantime I think with M^r Chaumont that the Lyon should be sold & then I hope no objection will be made to her being equipp'd as French Property

But I will also write you more particularly on this Subject, by M^r Ross who goes off tomorrow morning—Mean time I am [&c.]
