Summary
Introduces Pierre Fleming, the bearer of this letter. Public opinion on the true policy of America is becoming more and more correct. "Injurious treatment from foreign powers ... will increase our wisdom." Is happy that the American Commissioners in Britain go on well. The last state legislative session was both temperate and useful; Federalist lassitude will produce a more checkered Assembly this time.
