with that Court are at a stand. The Count d'Aranda
either has not, or does not choose to show me a commission to treat. He is exceedingly civil and frequent visits pass between us.
It gives me pleasure to inform you that perfect
unanimity has hitherto prevailed among your Commissioners here ; and I do not recollect that since we
began to negotiate with Mr. Oswald there has been
the least division or opposition between us. Mr.
Adams was particularly useful respecting the eastern
boundary, and Dr. Franklin's firmness and exertions
on the subject of the tories did us much service. I
enclose herewith a copy of a letter he wrote about
that matter to Mr. Oswald. It had much weight and
is written with a degree of acuteness and spirit seldom to be met with in persons of his age.

esteem, dear sir, etc.
