LETTER LXXII.--TO THE MINISTER OF FRANCE, August 12, 1791
The Secretary of State has the honor to inform the Minister of France,
that the President will receive his letters of credence today, at half
after two; that this will be done in a room of private audience, without
any ceremony whatever, or other person present than the Secretary of
State, this being the usage which will be observed.
As the Secretary of State will be with the President before that hour on
business, the Minister will find him there.

LETTER LXXIII.--TO SYLVANUS BOURNE, August 14,1791
TO SYLVANUS BOURNE.
Philadelphia, August 14,1791.
Sir,
My letter of May the 13th acknowledged the receipt of yours of November
the 30th. Since writing that, I have received yours of April the 29th
and June the 30th, addressed to myself, and of July the 14th, to Mr.
Remsen. As none of these acknowledge mine of May the 13th, I now enclose
you a duplicate of it, fearing the first has miscarried.
