His lack of naval experience caused him to be diffident before smaller British forces. His caution and hesitancy greatly disappointed the colonists during a crucial phase of the war. 6 ½” x 8 ¼” autograph letter signed twice “Estaing” at conclusion and in the text, in French, October 26, 1746, to Mr. Motte.
