JAY TO LORD LANSDOWNE. 191
previous to their admission into the Confederacy, as also to
organize the Indian department, request the favor of your
attendance and advice upon those subjects upon Saturday-
next in Congress chamber at half after ten in the morning.
The first question which arises with respect to the government is, Shall it be upon Colonial principles, under a
governor, council and judges of the U. S., removeable at a
certain period of time and they admitted to a vote in Congress with the common rights of the other States, or shall
they be left to themselves until that event ? In the former
instance how the correspondence or superintendence of
such colony or colonies, shall be systematically preserved
and presented to the view of Congress? The same question
occurs with respect to the Indian department. These subjects altho' not immediately within your province we
consider as intimately connected with it, and shall be
happy in your assistance in forming those arrangements
which will become necessary respecting them.
I have the honor to be with great respect and esteem,
your most obedient servant,
Jas. Monroe.
JAY TO LORD LANSDOWNE.
My Lord • New York' 2°th Apri1'I786'
Mr. Ansley this morning delivered the letter you
did me the honour to write on the 26th of February
last. Every opportunity of manifesting my attention
to your Lordship's recommendations will give me
pleasure, and that inducement will conspire, with
others of public nature, to ensure to Mr. Ansley my
friendly endeavours to facilitate the execution of his
commission, and render his residence here agreeable
to him.
