Letter written by the Count de Noailles, the well known French officer under Lafayette during the American Revolution to Major General Knox. Hopes Knox received a letter he directed from Boston. Hoped to see him this spring, but says fate has kept him in France. Says "the new ministry of England is in regard to the United States just like the quakers they won't fight against them but rob every advantage from their trade." Reports on rumors of Holland's recognition of American independence and a declaration of war against Britain. Thinks if things go as they are there will soon be an honorable peace. Says he met Henry's brother, William, in France. Docket says letter was written from Paris.
