Charles William Frederick Dumas to Prince Dmitri Alexeivitch Gallitzin, February 9, 1781

Copy of the paper which accompanied the resolution that I have carried this evening &c.

Without regard to a very defective translation that the gazetteer of Amsterdam has given the resolution of 5 October 1780 by the general Congress of the United States of America, apparently after some American gazette, it is my duty to communicate to His Excellency M. [ , Start insertion, Prince Gallitzin, Minister Plenipotentiary of Russia , End, ] a true copy, in the original language, of this resolution just as His Excellency M. J. Adams Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States sent me together with my translation to the end that this piece can be brought to the knowledge of Her Imperial Majesty in all its integrity. Done at The Hague, 9 February 1781.

(Signed) Dumas, Agent of the United States
