3oo CORRESPONDENCE AND PUBLIC PAPERS.
a statesman ; but as I have had no opportunity of a little
conversation with you since I had the pleasure of receiving
your Letter, you will forgive my Rusticity. Please to present my love to my Cousin and compliments to my friend
Brockholst, and believe me to be, my Dear Sir,
With the most perfect esteem,
Yours sincerely,
' Margaret Livingston.
P. S. I must thank you for the melon seed you sent.
The seeds were distributed but nobody had the luck to
raise any melons but myself by ye meer dint of watching
every morning to kill the buggs. I shall be much obliged
by a new supply next year. Will you indulge me with some
flower seed in a Letter, or shrub seed. I forgot to tell you
that your Son grows a very fine boy.
JAY TO COUNT DE MONTMORIN.
5ir ; Madrid, ist May, 1782.
The letter brought for me by your Excellency's
courier was from Dr. Franklin, pressing me to go to
Paris. As the Count de Florida Blanca has assured
me that our conferences for a treaty shall commence
at Aranjues in earnest, I doubt the propriety of going
to France at present, especially as serious negotiations for peace will not probably take place before the
end of the campaign.
I submit to your discretion the mentioning this to
the Count de Florida Blanca. If this Court really
means to treat of an alliance with us, would it not be
advisable to postpone my journey to Paris ? But if,
on the other hand, I am to expect further delays, it
would be unnecessary for me to remain here,
