120 CORRESPONDENCE AND PUBLIC PAPERS. JOHN ADAMS TO JAY. The Hague, April 2d, 1784. My Dear Friend: I blush to acknowledge that I received your favour of the 6th February, in its season, and in good condition, and that I have not answered it. By leading a quiet life, and by great care and regular exercise, I have happily recovered a little health, and if you think it necessary, I might now venture on a journey to Paris But I should be glad to wait here six weeks longer, that I may increase my stock of strength a little more, if possible, provided you will give me leave. I should be glad to know what you have upon the carpet, and how advanced, in brief, if you please. The money for the payment of Mr. Morris's bills is happily secured, but we were a long time in bringing the loan to bear. I have received several letters from Boston and Philadelphia, from very good hands, which make very honourable and affectionate mention of you. You have erected a monument to your memory in every New England heart. My regards to your good family, and believe me, Your sincere friend, John Adams. JAY TO JOHN WITHERSPOON. Chaillot, near Paris, 6th April, 1784. Dear Sir: I had last evening the pleasure of receiving your favour of the 27th ult. I congratulate you on your safe arrival, and sincerely wish that the same good fortune may attend your return. While our country remained part of the British empire, there was no impropriety in soliciting the aid of our distant brethren and fellow-subjects for any
