Original.

Whether the Gallies from Virginia will be in readiness at
the time expected we cannot certainly determine, but have
some Reason to believe they will not.
The Resolutions referred to the Marine Committee have
not as yet been reported on, as soon as their determinations
are known we shall take the earliest opportunity of communi-
cating them to you.
We were yesterday informed by the Minister of France,
that he had received the Resolves of the General Assembly
respecting the Confederation. We have not seen them, nor
do we know their Contents — Those Resolutions and all others
of the last Session which your Excellency may deem of a
public nature, and necessary for us to know, we should be
happy in having communicated to us.
We are with the highest respect and Esteem
Your obedient and very hble Servts
John Henry Junr
