PART II.-CONTINUED. LETTERS ON POLITICAL SUBJECTS. TO THE HON. JOSIAH QUINCY, ESQ. DEAR SIR, Passy, April 22, 1779. letter by Mr. Brad I received your very kind ford, who appears a very sensible and amiable young gentleman, to whom I should with pleasure render any service here, upon your much respected recommendation; but I understand he returns immediately. It is with great sincerity I join you in acknowledging and admiring the dispensations of Providence in our favor. America has only to be thankful and persevere. God will finish his work, and establish their freedom; and the lovers of liberty will flock from all parts of Europe with their fortunes to participate with us of that freedom-as soon as peace is restored. I am exceedingly pleased with your account of the French politeness and civility, as it appeared among the officers and people of their fleet. They VOL. II. A |
