IT belonged to the count de Rochambeau much
more than to iryfelf to receive thole distinguished and
flattering teflimonies, whih you have been pieafed to
give to the rondud of the troops, placed by the choice
and confidence of the Icing in his hands, in order to
serve the cause of your liberty. It is by pursuing the
intentions of his majefly, and the orders, the particu
lar inftrufhons, and thf example of the general which
he gave us that we have been a"le to inspire you
with those sentiments of efleem and attachment, of
which you now assure us in expressions that do us the
greatest honour.
All the principal officers of this army are, as well as
myfelf, gentlemen, extremely touches with your fuf
frage in their favour ; it in a manner insures to them
the approbation of the king, and is a very flattering re
com pence for the care they have taken to maintain dis
cipline in the regiments which they command : the o
ther officers by whom they have been perfectly second
ed, will also be penetrated with the fame sentiments ;
and the whole army fees with fatisfadion, how tho
roughly you are persuaded, that it ; s to the perfed u
nion that has reigned between the American troops, the
marine of the king and the French corps under the or.
ders of the count de Rochambeau, that France and the
united Rates are indebted for that success you so kind
ly applaud.
Permit me also, gentlemen, to seize the present mo
ment for declaring to you our admiration of the virtues,
the talents, and the accomplishments, which so parti
cularly distinguish his excellency general Washington.
We all desire that the homage of our refpeds, and of
our warm wiffies for his preservation and happiness,
may be agreeable to him as a teflimony of the fatisfac
tion we have had in serving under his orders.
I may venture to assure you before hand, gentlemen,
that the king will very sensibly feel the good wishes which
the inhabitants of the town of Boston have so ardently
made for the glory of hi^ reign and the prosperity of
the nation which he governs. The difinteteftednefs
and the wisdom of the views of his majesty in all that
he has done for the support of the independence of A
merica, do not admit a doubt that the next deflination
of this army will still contribute with efficacy to the
complete establishment of that object : to whatever
part of the earth his orders may fend it, all whocom
pofe this corps, will ever remember with much fegfibi
lity, the pleasing wishes you have expressed for us on
eur departure.
For myfelf, nothing gentlemen could flatter me more
than the particular marks you have been pieafed to
give of your efleem. I beg you to accept, together
with all the thanks I owe to you, my most sincere re
fpeds. and my assurances, that I shall ever form the
warmest wifhesfor the prosperity of the united Rates in
general, and for the happiness of the citizens of Boston
in particular.

The assurances of your affection, and the expression
of your desires for the maintainance of an alliance,
