256 CORRESPONDENCE AND PUBLIC PAPERS.
JAY TO CHEVALIER DE BOURGOING.
" Mr. Jay presents his compliments to the Chevalier
de Bourgoing. The Minister's answer to the Ambassador is polite and cautious, and, if sincere (which
time can only ascertain), will demand Mr. Jay's
thanks and acknowledgments.
"The Minister is mistaken if he supposes that Mr.
Jay views personal consequences as of any other
importance than as they may affect the political
interests of the two countries; and, when considered
in that light, they merit a degree of attention to
which mere personal considerations could not entitle
them.
" Mr. Jay requests the favour of the Chevalier to
present his cordial acknowledgments to the Ambassador for his friendly interposition on this occasion,
and to assure him that Mr. Jay will never cease to be
influenced by the gratitude which every American
owes to the first friend and steadfast ally of the
United States.
"Madrid, February n, 1782."
I also wrote this evening to Dr. Franklin, and
I insert the following extracts from the letter, because they contain matters proper for you to know :
JAY TO BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.
t-. 0 Madrid, February 11, 1782.
Dear Sir :
I have been so engaged these two days as not
to have had time to reply fully to yours of the
19th ult.
