Sieur de Saint Clair
wrote to me under veil a letter signed of all its captains by which
they informed me after having held council about the project of
Greenland that I had proposed to them by your order was
impracticable due to the advanced season and that they are not able
to put at veil to follow their
first project and I believe Monsieur that it is the right reason, and
that in the continuation the King will be some better, I report this to you only to make known to you that I would punctually

Ponchartrain to Sieur de la Boulaye: it is
extremely sad that Sieur de Saint Clair as badly succeeded in

is fault of the Governor of Plaisance who offered on the contrary
all that depended on him and beyond that, however let me know with the return of the vessels of Bayonne,
what are the complaints of the captains of the vessels which
carried disunion to this colony against him. You will find a
letter herewith from Sieur Sommereau on the calculation of the crew
of the frigate Aigle written to me of which I wrote you above, it
is necessary that you clear up the facts of which he speaks and
let me know what happened.

the officers, marines and sailors of the crew of le Gaillard. You must oblige the ship-owners to pay those of
