From John Frederick Sackville, third Duke of Dorset
To American Commissioners
November 24, 1784

John Frederick Sackville, third Duke of Dorset, informs the American Commissioners that British ministers are open to proposals for a mutually beneficial agreement but insist that negotiations occur in London with an authorized U.S. commissioner. He notes that discussions on specific articles of the 1783 peace preliminaries with France will be addressed by the British Court to seek a fair resolution.
