SIR,
AFTER so many favours which on every oc-
Ca-fion, and part en'ariy at the time cf my obtaining
a leave of absence, CoDgufs were plcafed most ^.
ciotfly to beßow on me, I dare presume r^y fell en.
tailed to impart to them, the private Debugs which
I new fohapp ; ly experience.
If from an early epoch in oar noble conteff, I glo
ried in the name of an American folder, and hearti
ly erjoyed the honor I have of Riving the United
States, my fa isLAion is at this lon, w fh*d for
moment entirely complete ; when putting an end
to my fuilongh, I have been able again to join my
Colour's, under which I may hep? fur importunities
cf indulging the ardent ztal, the unbounded grati
tude. the warm, and I might fay, the patriotic love,
by which I am for ever bound to America.
In begging. S r, you will p:efent Con^refs with
a new affiance of my prefound trip a, and my
grateful rff:&ionate sentiments.
I have th? honor to.br with the highefl regard,
Your Excellency's most obedient
Humble f-rvant.
Lafayette.
