JAY TO SILAS DEANE. 29 them in, I will hasten to Paris, and give you every intelligence I can collect. I look upon Myself as your political Aide de Camp ; if I may any how serve America, I am Happy and satisfied. At all events, when my advice is asked for, No Court, no Country, no Consideration can induce me to advise a thing that is not consistent with the dignity of the United States. By the Month of June I intend taking up again my plan of a voyage to America. Untill that time I have nothing to do, and towards the first of March, I will offer myself to you with Spanish intelligences, and a great zeal to do any thing that may serve the public. I beg my best respects to be presented to your Colleagues. I do not write to them, and in this letter they may see what you think worth Communicating. My Most respectful compliments wait upon Mrs. Jay. I have hardly time enough left to write a line to M<*e. de Lafayette, and in great haste inscribe Myself Most Respectfully and Affectionately Yours, Lafayette. Mr« Littlepage having been pleased to come into my family for the expedition I have advised him to go with me on My journey to Paris. His voyage to America is but little [longer] ; and it may prove Agreeable to him to know the best part of France. JAY TO SILAS DEANE. c . Paris, 22d February, 1783. Your letter of the 10th inst. was delivered to me a few days ago. The reason to which you ascribe my not having answered the other you wrote me was the true one, viz., that it was unnecessary.

I look upon Myself as your political Aide de Camp ; if I may any how serve America, I am Happy and satisfied. At all events, when my advice is asked for, No Court, no Country, no Consideration can induce me to advise a thing that is not consistent with the dignity of the United States. By the Month of June I intend taking up again my plan of a voyage to America. Untill that time I have nothing to do, and towards the first of March, I will offer myself to you with Spanish intelligences, and a great zeal to do any thing that may serve the public. I beg my best respects to be presented to your Colleagues. I do not write to them, and in this letter they may see what you think worth Communicating.
