friendly and disinterested that I think Congress
should be particularly informed of it, and by taking
proper notice of it induce others to follow the
example.
I have the honour to be, etc.,
John Jay.
JAY TO THE COMMITTEE OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
Madrid, November 30, 1780.
Gentlemen :
I have had the honour of receiving from you a
letter of the 16th of June, and another the 12th of
July, 1780, with the several papers mentioned in them.
With respect to the subjects of the first, you will
find them fully discussed in my letter to the President of Congress, which will accompany this. The
description of the bills will, I hope, answer good
purposes.
How far the resolution, which immediately follows the one respecting Mr. Dohrman, can be fully
executed, is hard to determine. Had I funds necessary for the purpose, I should meet with few difficulties. The measure is a wise one, and my attention to
it shall be unremitted. In a future letter I shall say
more on this subject; as yet nothing has had time
to ripen.
I must request your attention to the necessity of
putting your correspondence with the public servants
