5570. MOUSTIER (Count), Medal for.—
The President, in a letter to the King, has
expressed his sense of your merit, and his
entire approbation of your conduct while here,
and has charged me to convey to yourself the
same sentiments on his part. Had you returned
to your station with us, you would have
received new and continued marks of the esteem
inspired by the general worth of your
character, as well as by the particular dispositions
you manifested towards this country.
* * * As a testimony of these sentiments,
we ask your acceptance of a medal and chain
of gold. [348]
