LAFAYETTE PASSES ALONG FRENCH DOCUMENTS FOR SPARKS'S DIPLOMATIC HISTORY OF THE REVOLUTION. "I have lately sent to you through the care of our friend Mr. Low, a large package containing some other documents, the copies from the Office of War and foreign affairs, which I have seasonally obtained as I would not like to apply for them to the actual Ministers. The remainder shall go successively. I have been so far overwhelmed peregrination, receptions, applications, and Business, as to make me a very bad correspondent. I hope my friends do forive me. The only remaining son of Count de Grasse having requested me to send a document to the President [Andrew Jackson], I did apply for a duplicate thinking it might be of some use to you." Sparks published his Diplomatic Correspondence of the American Revolution in 1829.
