The Chevr. de la Luzerne having just given me notice that he shall send an Express to the Romulus in ½ an hour I sieze the opportunity of inclosing a copy of the British Kings speech which presages a speedy establishment of peace.

10To Thomas Jefferson from James Madison, 26 September 1780 (Jefferson Papers)

Through forgetfulness or want of opportunity he failed to...
