356 CORRESPONDENCE AND PUBLIC PAPERS.
Advices from your country lead us to expect some
important changes in government will likewise take
place there. It is to be hoped that neither party will
extend their views too far, and that an undue desire
of innovation may not make them forget that the
prerogatives of the crown and the rights of the people may and ought to be so defined and confirmed, as
that instead of being hostile to each other they may
conspire in promoting the glory and happiness of the
kingdom.
With the best wishes for your health and prosperity
I have the honor to be, dear sir,
Your most obedient, humble servant,
John Jay.
JAY TO THE MARQUIS DE LAFAYETTE.
New York, ist September, 1788.
Dear Sir :
The society in this city for promoting the manumission of slaves, etc., were much pleased to find you
were a member of a similar one at Paris. They have
admitted you an honourary member of theirs, and sincerely wish that your generous exertions in the cause
of freedom and humanity may continue to be crowned
with success.
With sentiments of real esteem and attachment,
I am, dear sir,
Your affectionate and humble servant,
John Jay,
President.
