From George Washington to Jean [de] Neufville, 22 April 1782

Gentlemen

Head Quarters of the American Army April 22nd 1782

The very favorable sentiments you are pleased to express in your polite Letter of the 10th of August last; have added infinitely to the value of the agreeable Present you intended for me: and I wish you to be assured, that the detention of that Present by Captain Gillan, has not diminished my sense of the obligations I am under to you—Major Jackson has explained the matter fully, and has delivered an elegant Perspective Glass calculated to be used in the day or night time.

I entreat you will be pleased to accept my thanks for those marks of your regard, and believe me to be, Gentlemen Your Most Obedt and Humble Servant.
