3o6 CORRESPONDENCE AND PUBLIC PAPERS.
ters. He proposes to make his payments here quarterly.
I shall, as your agent, receive the amount, make out the
account, and vest it in bills at the current rate, and remit
them to Dr. Franklin, and send you advice when I do it; or,
when opportunity offers, send them directly to you. I shall
follow your directions if you have any other to give, with
respect to the money due to you, and consider myself liable
in my private capacity for all the money I receive on your
account, till you appoint another agent. This will simplify
Mr. Morris's account, he only opening one with the department of Foreign Affairs.
Your present account will commence the 1st of January.
I wish you to transmit a state of your account prior to that
date, and I will procure and remit you the balance.
We have nothing new but what you may collect from
the papers enclosed. The Count de Montmorin will see
with pleasure, that the birth of a Dauphin has been received
here at this critical time in such a manner as to evidence
our attachment to the King, his father, and the French
nation.
I am embarrassed beyond expression at the misfortune
that happened to Mr. Thompson's cypher. I shall enclose
another with this, and send them both to Mr. Harrison,
with special directions to send them safely to you.
It must have been long since you heard from me. Our
ports have been totally shut up for some time, and no less
than three vessels with despatches from me to you have
been taken and carried into New York within two months.
As you seem to suppose my appointment has not been
sufficiently notified to you, to authorize your directing
your letters to me, I enclose the resolution for my appointment, together with that for the organization of the
office.
I have the honor to be, &c.
Robert R. Livingston.
