JAY TO DON JOSEPH GALVEZ. 259
United States consider a cordial union between
France, Spain, and them as a very desirable and most
important object, and they view the provision which
his Most Christian Majesty has made for it by the
above-mentioned article, not only as evincive of his
attention to his royal ally, but of his regard to them.
Under these views and these impressions, they are
most sincerely disposed, by the liberality and candour
of their conduct, to render the proposed treaties
speedy in their accomplishment and perpetual in their
duration.
Your Excellency will receive this letter by M.
Gerard, who is so obliging as to take charge of it,
and to whom the Congress have been pleased to give
such ample testimonies of their esteem and confidence,
as to enable him to exert his talents with great advantage on every occasion interesting to them.
I cannot conclude without indulging myself in the
pleasure of acknowledging how much we are indebted
to the politeness and attention of the Marquis de La
Flolte, and the other officers of the Aurora, during
the course of our voyage.
With great respect and esteem, I have the honour
to be, etc., John Jay.
JAY TO DON JOSEPH GALVEZ.1
Sir : Cadiz, 27th January, 1780.
Permit me through your Excellency to have the
honour of representing to His Most Catholic Majesty,
1 Jay understood from the French Minister, M. Gerard, that Galvez was the
proper court official at Madrid to whom his despatches should be addressed.
This proved to be a mistake, Count de Florida Blanca, with whom he subsequently communicated, being the secretary charged with colonial affairs.
