MRS. JAY TO MRS. IZARD. 335
JAY TO JOHN ADAMS.
Paris, September 1, 1782.
Dear Sir :
I am this moment informed of a safe opportunity of
conveying you a letter, and as such another may not
soon offer, I must not omit it.
My opinion coincides with yours as to the impropriety of treating with our enemies on any other than
an equal footing. We have told Mr. Oswald so, and
he has sent an express to London to communicate it
and to require further instructions.1 He has not yet
received an answer. Herewith enclosed is a copy of
his commission. Mr. Vaughan has no public character. Mr. Fitzherbert is employed to talk about preliminaries with this Court. Nothing, I think, will be
done until the return of Mr. Oswald's express. We
shall then be enabled to form some judgment of the
British Minister's real intentions. Adieu! I have
only time to add that I am, with great esteem, your
most obedient servant,
John Jay.

Mrs. Jay's compliments to Mrs. Izard. She is going this
evening to the opera with the Marquis de la Fayette, who
has given her the pleasure of inviting Mrs. Izard to be of
the party, and Mrs. Jay is happy to offer Mrs. Izard a seat
in her carriage.
Friday morning, September 5, 1782.
1 Oswald's " Minutes of Conversation" with Franklin and Jay respecting the
peace appear in full in Hale's " Franklin in France," vol. i., pp. 92-123.
