Mr. Morris, the Cranbrook carpenter, has the plan and specification ready. Would JH like to see it before sending it to the Admiralty, presumably through Francis Beaufort?
Returns letter from French ambassador, Count Jarnac. Deeply honored by French king's desire to bestow 'Cross of the Legion of Honour' on JH, but rules of British government do not permit him to accept it.
