JAY TO ROBERT R. LIVINGSTON. 293 arranged, but I thought it best to state them as they arose; and though some of them separately considered do not appear very important, yet when viewed in connection with others they will not be found wholly uninteresting. You will readily perceive, on reading this letter, that parts of it relate to Mr. Morris' department. I hope he will excuse my not repeating them in a particular letter to him, especially as he will readily believe that the length of this, and the ciphers used in it, have fatigued me a good deal. All the ciphers in this letter are those in which I correspond with Mr. Morris, and the only ones I have received from him. They were brought by Major Franks, and marked No. 1. Several of my former letters to Mr. Thomson and you mentioned that his cipher was not to be depended upon. The copy of it, brought by Mr. Barclay, which is the only copy I have received of the original by' Major Franks, having passed through the post-office, came to my hands with marks of inspection on the cover. I received, the 12th of April, a packet of newspapers, which I believe was from your office. It was brought to Bilboa by Mr. Stockholm ; but not a single line or letter from America accompanied it. On the back of the packet there was this endorsement: "Bilboa, April 3d, 1782, brought and forwarded by your Excellency's very humble servant, Andrew Stockholm." Notwithstanding this, it was marked Paris by the post-office, and charged with postage accordingly, viz., one hundred and six reals
