{"value"=>"Regrets that he could not use Lee's letter of introduction to Baron de Breteuil, French ambassador at Vienna; good understanding between Dana and \"him who negociates the peace here [John Adams]\"; has reason to think \"that Court [Russia, to which he was accredited] favourably disposed towards us\"; the maritime Powers need only good information to cause them to side with America; Edmund Jennings is to accompany him on his mission; rejoices to hear of the success of \"Col. Lawrence's\" [Col. John Laurens] negotiations at Versailles, and of the interception and capture by Piquet of 21 Dutch merchantmen sent from St. Eustatius to England, and of the results of the action between Greene and Cornwallis."}
