From Vergennes

Copy: Library of Congress

à Versailles ce 8. 7bre. 1779.

Le Comte de Vergennes a l’honneur de renouveller à Monsieur Franklin l’assurance de ses sentimens et de lui envoyer des Paquets à son adresse arrivant d’Espagne.3 Il en est resté un a Madrid que M. Le Cte. de Montmorin croit ne contenir que des Journaux.

[Note numbering follows the Franklin Papers source.]

3. The packet was probably the one carried by the Victorieux which arrived in Cadiz on Aug. 13; see our annotation to Lovell’s letter of July 9.
