JAY TO EDMUND RANDOLPH. 125
I wish to take particular notice of your letters, but,
really, sir, I cannot do it now.
I feel very sensibly the confidence reposed in me
by the permission to take such notice of my reception
here as I might judge proper. The following is a
copy of the letter which I have written to Lord
Grenville on that subject.
Royal Hotel, Pall Mall, October 27, 1794.
My Lord :
The President having been informed of the gracious
reception with which their Majesties were pleased to
honour me, has made it my duty to assure them of the
sense he entertains of that pleasing mark of attention
to the United States. He flatters himself that a negotiation, commenced under such favorable auspices,
and conducted with a correspondent disposition to
conciliation, will terminate in a settlement mutually
satisfactory and beneficial.
He requests his Majesty to be persuaded that he
will continue to promote every measure that may
conduce to this desirable event; and that the United
States will, with pleasure and alacrity, cherish the
concord and good-will which will naturally result
from it. I am convinced, my Lord, that this communication will derive advantages from the manner in
which you will convey it to their Majesties ; and I am
the more gratified in addressing it to your Lordship,
as an additional opportunity is thereby afforded me
of assuring you of the respect and esteem with which
I have the honour to be your Lordship's, etc.
The Right Honourable Lord Grenville, etc.
