JAY TO ROBERT R. LIVINGSTON. 49
JAY TO ROBERT R. LIVINGSTON.
Dear Sir : PARIS> June Ist =783-
I have had the honour of receiving your favour of
the 4th of January last. The cipher you mention to
have enclosed is missing. My letter by Captain
Barney affords an answer to the greater part of your
inquiries. Business here goes on heavily. The Dutch
and English are not yet agreed, and some points
remain still to be adjusted between the latter and the
French and Spaniards. Mr. Hartley has an ample
and proper commission to conclude with us. We are
discussing the terms of a temporary commercial regulation, but as he is waiting for more full instructions,
it may be a week or a fortnight before we shall be
able to inform you of the real intentions of Britain on
that subject.
Before I left Spain, and often since by letters, I
desired Mr. Carmichael to make out and transmit to
Philadelphia a clear and full state of the public accounts ; and also, agreeably to Dr. Franklin's request,
to send him an account of the bills remaining to be
paid. The Doctor has not received his account;
and I have no reason to suppose that you or Mr.
Morris have received the other. I am not easy about
this matter, for in case of the death or recall of Mr.
Carmichael (by whom all these accounts were kept,
and through whom I managed these transactions),
I might experience difficulties respecting the accounts,
which may now be avoided.
1 understand from Mr. Barclay that he is authorized to examine and settle these accounts, and as Mr.
Vol. hi.—4
