Au camp de Valley Forge le 5 mai 1778
J’ai étourdiment oublié, Monsieur, la lettre qui devait être enfermé dans le dernier paquet envoyé par moi à Yorktown, et par laquelle je vous prioris[e](?) de vous charger de mes dépêches pour France. M. de Gimat va partir pour York afin d’obtenir le plus de nouvelles particulières(?) possible(?) par les conversations avec M. Simeon Deane ; je l’ai prié aussi de faire quelques affaires concernant(?) quelques-uns de mes compatriotes et de finir avec vous celles dont vous comme(?) convenant(?). Tout ce que vous ferez(?) avec lui sera bien fait et je m’en rapporte à vous, Monsieur, pour me guider dans des arrangements que j’entende mal, mais sur lesquels j’ai une confiance sans bornes en votre politesse et votre honnêteté. Je désire de faire un moins mauvais marché que ceux où je me suis embrouillé jusqu’ici, mais je serais bien plus fâché que vous en (?) un désavantageux.
Quant à mes lettres, je prie M. de Gimat de voir s’il n’y a pas d’occasion plus prompte de les faire partir que celle que vous lui offrirez, peut-être le président(?) nous en fournira-t-il quelqu’une, enfin j’espère que vous voudriez(?) bien vous informer avec lui quelle est la meilleure manière de les faire parvenir.
C’est en vous renouvellent tous mes remerciements et avec le plus parfait attachement(?) que j’ai l’honneur cher(?) Monsieur, votre très humble et très obéissant(?) serviteur.
Le M. de Lafayette
At Camp Valley Forge, 5 May 1778
I completely forgot, sir, the letter that should have been enclosed in the last package that I sent to Yorktown, and by which I ask you to make a priority(?) handling my dispatches for France. Mr. de Gimat is leaving for York in order to obtain as much detailed(?) information as possible by way of the conversations with Mr. Simeon Deane; I asked him as well to take care of the affairs of some of my compatriots and to finish with yours when convenient(?). Everything that you will do with him will be well done, and I refer to you, Sir, to guide me in the arrangements that I misunderstand, but in which I have a limitless confidence in your honesty and politeness. I hope that I won’t be caught up in the shenanigans that I have found myself up until now, but I will be much angrier than you in (?) unfavorable.
As for my letters, I’m asking M. de Gimat to see if there isn’t a more expeditious way to send those that you will give him, and perhaps the president will provide us with someone, and finally I hope that you will discuss with him the best way to send them.
It’s in renewing my thanks and with the most perfect attachment that I have the honor, dear Sir, your most humble and very obedient servant.

Dear Sir
I have received yours of the 10th inst with an account of your proceedings up to that time as the money put into your hands by the board of Treasury was particularly for the purpose of procuring horses and accoutrements I think you were right in not applying it to the payment of the Cloathing purchased by Collo. Temple – I can see no objection to your taking up money from the Deputy Paymaster General and giving credit for it when you come to settle your regimental Account. I wrote fully to you about ten days ago, and to Collo. Baylor this day to which I refer you for orders respecting sending forward the Horses and recruits with all dispatch

Lee & Craig of Blands light horse took thirteen Horse and The men of Prestons Dragoons 27th a committee of Congress is expected in Camp to day Plans for another Campaign, it is uncertain how long this will be reaching or it might have been accompanied with letters to some of my other friends—remember love to Miss Moore, Parents, Sister [illeg]
From your affect. Bro
