MARQUIS DE LAFAYETTE TO JAY. n
with which it was not proper for him to interfere.
Lord Mount Stuart was offended with the minister
for this, and he brought his letter-book with him to
Mr. Oswald to show him the full state of the matter.
Mr. Oswald said, that as he had told me the affair of
Mr. Pultney, he could not forbear mentioning this
also, for it was a little strange that so extraordinary a
matter should come so circumstantial and correspondent from such different and unconnected quarters.
He desired me to consider this communication as very
confidential, adding that he could say more, but that
it would not be proper for him at present to enter
into a detail of further particulars.
MARQUIS DE LAFAYETTE TO JAY.
Cadiz, December the 26th, 1782.
Dear Sir:
My letters to Dr. Franklin have hitherto acquainted you
with every thing that related to me. I have been with the
army as far as Cape St. Mary, and then I came in a frigate
to this port. On my way I have despatched a vessel to
General Washington, and have communicated particulars of
our situation as well as proposals for Military Operations.
The convoy I came with is coming in. A good number
of French and Spanish ships are getting ready. The French
division at Gibraltar is going to embark, so that we intend
to sail with a powerful reinforcement.
On my arrival at this place, I have been told that our
American preliminaries are agreed upon for which I heartily
rejoice with you . . . but it becomes necessary to go on
with Military Operations. I very much hope they will be
successful.
