himself to Bernard Marigny, Esq of this city.
PARIS, Sept. LIST, 1885.
SiR,-l have been greatly graied in finding that you
had mentioned my name in your patriotic and eloquent
speech of the 9TH of July My name is wholly un.
known in the United States; for my respected father
when member of the National Convention was an in,i,
mate friend of your immortal Franklin.
, You have properly appreciated the feeling of the
hat ahan OH r,.h
iratcrna love towards each other; and whose unsul-
ed swords have been drawn together in the field of
tie, for the sacred cause of liberty.
nave very little doubt that your noble and eloquent
speech will greatly contribute to obviate those trnp
difficulties which very natural cep.ibity originated
but which reason and friendship must soon remove
Yes sir, the French and Americans should and must be
forever united for their hearts have always been and
still are united in the sacred of liberty aud
national independence.
Accept, sir, the assurance OF my very distinguished
consideration and sincere friendship.
Your very humble and devoted servant
VALAZE,
Lient, General, and General of Foriifcafions
