JAY TO ROBERT R. LIVINGSTON. 213
place with respect to those on me. Besides, as the
singular policy of drawing bills without previous
funds will now be relinquished, we have reason to
flatter ourselves that we shall in future have no embarrassments of this kind to struggle with. I am well
persuaded that Mr. Morris will not pursue such hazardous and unprecedented measures, and therefore, as
in all human probability the present difficulties will be
all that we shall have to surmount, I hope you will
think with me, that the utmost exertions should be
made for the purpose, and that after having done so
much to save the credit of American bills you will
still be disposed to do every thing in your power
to put it out of danger.
When it will be in my power to replace the sums
drawn from you, is hard to divine. All I can say or
do is to assure you that nothing but want of ability
shall delay or prevent it.
When I consider how much might have been saved
had my bills on you been sold to those who would
have taken them on the best terms, I cannot forbear
thinking it would be advisable to give me only general
authority to draw for such sums as I may want, not
exceeding the one you may limit.
The sum wanted for October is twelve thousand
five hundred and sixty-seven dollars, and for November three thousand and six hundred.
I particularize only the payments due in these two
months, because before the first of December I hope
my expectations from other quarters will at least be
ascertained.
