I think it may do a great deal, as well
as do credit to you & to this Country —
3rd you say it is your business to go
on Legislating — Having done with
France, What country wants such assistance
more than Portugal?
As to Monsr. De Charlelet, I apprehend
it must be the same who
was Ambassador here, in which case
you had better avoid the communication
you mention, for he is a narrow
voir , & not likely
to take it properly — What you
mention of him is the natural
Inconsequence of a French Character
I take it what is at the
bottom of all our great Proceedures
is that we conceive France to be
at our Mercy, which is as weak as
it is Cowardly, & What
did not become more capable
