[Document, 1785 January 31]
Abstract
Sends Jay an extract of a letter: the affairs of Holland are distracting. They have many ships ready. The King ignores the advice of his brother. Luxembourg is without troops. Hopes French minister can settle the difficulty. Not just a question of navigation of l'Escaut but also their privileges and rights as an independent nation.
