1See GW to Pickering, 12 June. The letter to John Marshall has not been found, but see Marshall to GW, 7 July. In his letter of 24 June to Charles Cotesworth Pinckney in France, GW told Pinckney it would be “handed to you by Genl Marshall,” who with Elbridge Gerry had been chosen to join Pinckney in Paris to negotiate with the French Directory. GW also sent to be forwarded his letters to Dumas and Ségur, both dated 24 June [1] [2] as well.

2See Pickering to GW, 1 July, and note 1 of that document. What appear to be parentheses inserted before “the first” and after “all” have been omitted.
