forces, their resources, and ability to continue the war, so
that if it was in consideration for new allies to supply them
with succors of any kind, the former might be able to plan
on solid grounds their operations convenient for the common cause, and for the particular advantage of these States,
without running the risk of being misled by false calculations for want of foresight and proper information.
COUNT DE VERGENNES TO JAY.
Versailles, March 13th, 1780.
Sir:
I have received your favor of the 27th of January, and I
am fully sensible of the confidence you have reposed in me,
by communicating to me the object of your mission. You
know too well the attachment of his Majesty to the United
States not to feel assured that he sincerely wishes you success, and will be eager to contribute to it. The Count de
Montmorin * has received instructions accordant with this
disposition, and I do not doubt that your confidence in
him will enable him to fulfil them to your entire satisfaction.
I have the honor to be, &c,
De Vergennes.

1 French Minister at the Court of Spain.
