ADAMS, John. Letter signed ("John Adams"), to Charles W. F. Dumas (1721-1796), Paris, 5 June 1783. 1 page, 4to, integral address leaf, light staining at top left and right corners, seal hole . ADAMS SKEPTICAL ABOUT DUTCH PROMISES FOR A $10 MILLION LOAN HE URGES TALKS FOR AMERICAN LOANS TO PROCEED IN THE HAGUE "WITH ALL SECRECY" while Adams impatiently awaits the Definitive Treaty between the U.S. and Great Britain. "I am very apprehensive that the gentleman you conversed with concerning the Loan is deceived, as his worthy Brother was on a former occasion, by whose advice chiefly I was led to pen the Loan with those three Houses. He was then of opinion that even ten Millions might be obtained, whereas the three Houses have not been able to obtain in a year, so much money as Mr Hodshon would have obtained in a Month, if not in the first day." He hopes "the first ships will bring my Letter of Recall" from Holland and another Minister named in his place "with power to borrow Money. In that case the new Minister will be at liberty to open a new Loan, if he thinks it prudent. I have a great Esteem for the Messrs Willinks, and have no objection to your conversing with them upon the subject. I wish you would with all Secrecy." He closes by telling Dumas he has spoken to Henry Laurens about Dumas's interest in acquiring land in South Carolina. "Mr. Laurens will give me his Sentiments of it." Dumas served as secretary and translator to Adams during his tenure as Minister Plenipotentiary to Holland.
