period. Whether you entertain the same moderate wishes,
whether you content yourself with the politics of this State,
or whether you will engage in the great field that Congress
have again opened to you, I shall still have the consolation
to reflect that seas do not roll between us, that I may sometimes see you, and frequently hear from you. If you are
not cured of your ambition, you have every thing to hope
for both in the State and Continental line. I need not tell
you, that I only wish to know your objects that I may concur in them.
Believe me, dear John,
Most sincerely and warmly your friend,
R. R. Livingston.
JAY TO ROBERT R. LIVINGSTON.
New York, August 18, 1784.
Your kind letter of the 30th ult. was delivered to
me yesterday by Mr. Lewis. I thank you very sincerely for your friendly congratulations on my return,
and assure you that among the pleasures I have long
promised myself from it, that of renewing our former
intercourse and correspondence is not the least. I
lament the unfortunate accident which has happened
to your oldest daughter, and which has deprived me
of the satisfaction of meeting you here.
I have had, and have, so many applications about
papers and business, respecting causes in which I was
formerly concerned, that I shall be obliged to,pass a
fortnight or three weeks here. When it will be in my
power to pay you a visit is uncertain. I consider it
as a pleasure to come, and shall endeavour to realize it
as soon as possible.
