To-morrow morning my son takes his departure
for America, and we go next week to England. I
have nothing further to add, than my regards to
Mr. Cranch, and a desire that you would let me
hear from you by every opportunity. I shall lose
part, and the greatest part of American intelligence
by quitting France; for no person is so well informed
from all the States as the Marquis de la Fayette.
He has established a correspondence in all the States,
and has the newspapers from every quarter.

Adieu.
