3i6 CORRESPONDENCE AND PUBLIC PAPERS.
I had written thus far when a variety of interruptions prevented my proceeding for several days, and
then I became violently attacked with the influenza,
from which I am now just beginning to recover. It
has been very severe on all my family. Mrs. Jay has
been obliged to struggle with that and the intermittent fever together, and this is the first day she has
been out of the house since our arrival.
I am very much mortified at not having yet seen
the Countess de Montmorin. The day before I was
taken sick I did myself the honour of calling at her
house, but she was from home. As soon as the doctor sets me at liberty, the first use I will make of it
will be to renew my visit.
What I have seen in France pleases me exceedingly. Dr Franklin has received some late noble
proofs of the King's liberality, in the liquidation of
his accounts, and the terms and manner of paying the
balance due on them. No people understand doing
civil things so well as the French. The aids they
have afforded us received additional value from the
generous and gracious manner in which they were
supplied ; and that circumstance will have a proportionable degree of influence in cementing the connection formed between the two countries.
I think the late resolutions and conduct of America,
respecting Mr. Carlton's proposed correspondence
with Congress must have given you pleasure. As
Mons. de Clonard passed through Spain he doubtless brought you copies. Some letters and instructions I have received by the same vessel contain
strong evidence of the determination of Congress to
