From 2nd Baron Grantham, Whitehall to Edward Thurlow [draft]:

18 Oct 1782

From: 1782 To: 1782

St. Eustatia business of great importance; French Ministers connecting it closely with the interests of ‘our’ subjects at the Granada's. Principles of negotiation admitted in Lord G. Germaine's time. Acted upon during Mr. Fox's term of Office. Difficult to retract them but admission of them may prompt innumerable claims. Monsieur de Vergennes ready to take business into his own hands. Question is with what appearance of agreement & settlement it may be removed to that channel. Asks for Thurlow's attention to subject.
