Public letter from an American revolutionary veteran to Joseph Fenwick who was an American consul to Bordeaux.
US representation in Bordeaux dates from March 1778 when France formally recognized the independence of the thirteen colonies on February 6, 1778. The Continental Congress appointed John Bondfield as a commercial agent. This was the first known American diplomatic station in the world. In 1790, President George Washington commissioned Joseph Fenwick of Maryland as the first American consul to Bordeaux.
