Paris Novr. 15th. 1777
Dear Sir—
This is to request that you would prepare yourself for Sea, and wait till I arrive in Spain, or till you receive orders to proceed to Sea, I shall not be able to leave this for two weeks from this time. You will please not to mention to any one that you expect me,
Nothing else particular—from your friend & Hble Sert
