Sir | Paris 11 Sepr. 1807 |
Though I have not been honored with a [s]ingle line from you since my return from the United States to Paris, near [se]venteen months ago, to acknowledge the receipt of my communications to you in relation to the conduct of Genl. Armstrong; nor, indeed, respecting various other subjects [o]n which I conceived it proper in me to address you, I shall not offer an [a]pology for the liberty I now take in transmitting Copies, 1o. of my letter to the General dated the 1st. Inst., 2o. his note in reply, 3o. my note in answer [t]hereto. With great respect & consideration I have the honor to be, Sir, Your Mo. Ob. Servt.
