Sir,
I have received your Favour of the 30th of September, for which I thank you. My Apprehension that the Union between France and our States might be diminished by Accounts from hence, was occasioned by the extravagant and violent Language held here by a Public Person in public Company, which had that Tendency; and it was natural for me to think his Letters might hold the same Language; in which I was right; for I have since had Letters from Boston informing me of it. Luckily here, and I hope there, it is imputed to the true Cause; a Disorder in the Brain; which tho' not constant has its Fits too frequent. I will not fill my Letter with an Account of those Discourses; Mr. Laurens when you see him, can give it to you; I mean such as he heard in Company with other Persons; for I would not desire him to relate private Conversations. They distress'd me much at the Time, being then at your earnest Instances soliciting for more Aids of Money, the Success of which Solicitation such ungrateful and provoking Language might I feared have had a Tendency to prevent. Enough of this at present.
