8 January
My General,
I just received your response of the date of the 7th at nine o'clock at night. I renew my regrets to you if the circumstances do not permit me at all to go to make you my tour at Scarborough.
I request you to have Mr. de Mongiraud informed that despite all the measures that he wanted to take, I have not received at all the twenty sheep that he had announced to me for yesterday afternoon. Therefore, I await them still; but want to observe him that these are very precious moments that I lose: and it is very possible that the results of it will be unpleasant if the English have information that I am here.
I have the honor to be with a respectful attachment, my General,
Your most humble and most
obedient servant,
le Chev. de St. Jean
I am in despair of your indisposition: I like to persuade myself that it will have no result. I will give your news to Mr. de Preince, his family to Mrs. d'Haorvent and to all her society.
I request you to deliver this letter to his address at Grenada[?]
