J A Y TO CHARLES THOMSON. 95
We hear that the definitive treaty is signed. I long to see
it; for you may depend that unless some new articles are
added respecting our intercourse with the British West
Indies, it will be both a work of difficulty and time to carry
measures that will justify your opinion of us. I thank you
for the kind sentiments which you express of me in several
parts of your letters. I will endeavour to deserve them.
I do not know whether Gouverneur writes to you by this
opportunity; you must cherish his friendship, it is worth
possessing. He has more virtue than he shows, and more
consistency than anybody believes. He values you exceedingly, and hereafter you will be very useful to each other.
Mrs. Morris will write to Mrs. Jay, and say for herself what
she has to say ; though I don't believe she will tell her, as
she does to everybody else, the high estimation in which
she holds Mrs. Jay and yourself. Permit me also, my
worthy friend, to assure you both of the sincerity of that
affection with which I profess myself
Your most obedient and humble servant,
Robert Morris.
JAY TO CHARLES THOMSON.
London, 14th November, 1783.
Dear Sir :
I have been here a month, and well only two days.
I came in quest of health, but " seek and you shall
find" does not, it seems, always extend to that of the
body.
The Parliament is sitting. The king's speech and
its echoes you will see in the papers. I have not had
any conversation on politics with either of the ministers. In my opinion, no plan or system of conduct
