56 CORRESPONDENCE AND PUBLIC PAPERS.
By a vessel lately arrived at Cadiz from Philadelphia I have received a letter from Congress by which
I find that the copies of our letters respecting your
accepting their bills, etc., which I transmitted to
them, had arrived safe. Congress, in their letter to

I am happy in thus having an opportunity of conveying to you the sense entertained by America of
your attachment to the cause of freedom, and I assure
you that I am, with sincere regard and esteem,
Gentlemen,
Your most obedient and very humble servant,
John Jay.

letters, which I hope have arrived safe, desired you to
