Joseph Mandrillon to John Adams, December 12, 1781

Raamgragt 12 December 1781

Sir

I will have the honor of delivering my work to you this evening between five and six o’clock but in the meantime, I am sending you the best map of North America that could be found here. The map of the thirteen states that I asked for is expected from England.

I am also enclosing the Atlas de l’histoire philosophique et politique so that you may give me your opinion as to the accuracy of these maps of your republic. 1

If you cannot receive me today, this will be for another evening.

I have the honor to be with all possible respect, sir, your very humble and very obedient servant

Jh. Mandrillon
