To John Adams from Edmund Randolph, 28 January 1794
Department of State, January 28, 1794.
Sir:
I do myself the honor of transmitting to the Senate, the translation of the French act of navigation. It has been executed by the best hand which could be procured; but it is possible, that the novelty of the subject, and certain technical phrases, may have produced inaccuracies.
I have the honor to be, &c.
Edmund Randolph.
