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.
