We request you to Acquaint the president of the United States with their Contents, that he may be thoroughly Convinced of the Facts that in many occasions we have Suggested, And that he may renew his wise dispositions for the Object so desireable of preserving the good harmony And Friendship which happily exists between the two Nations. We hope it may be so, mean while we have the honor to Subscribe ourselves with the greatest respect Sir Your most Obedient And Affectionate Servants
