The ambassador acknowledges Paris' letter showing "so much sympathy for our cause and friendship for my country" but declines the invitation to New York because "since the beginning of the war, with most of my personnel at the front ... every minute of my time is taken every day, beginning usually before even sun-rise."|He hopes to go "in the course of the present month, owing to an invitation sent me abot a year ago by the Cincinnati for the anniversary of George Washington; and a meeting called together by the descendants of his officers has for me such a sacred character, that I shall do the utmost ... to be present."|On letterhead stationery.|Pages 2 and 3 are blank.|Jesserand was an honorary member of the Society of the Cincinnati.|Gift of William Francklyn Paris, II.
