| Sir | Lisbon 11 Aug. 1807 |
Since my last respects [of] the 4th. Instant nothing worthy of notice has reached here but the articles of peace between France Russia, & Prussia: which as they were conveyed to me under the [s]ame cover with the inclosed letter from Mr Erving; I presume they are therein inclosed of course shall not increase the bulk of this letter by sending a [c]opy. A report is in circulation to day that a Messenger from the British Govmt. arrived in Paris the 9th: but it appears [to] want confirmation. With entire Respect I have the honor to be Sir yr Mo. Ob. Servt.
