ufactories of small arms, powder and salt-petre. I will
endeavour to get a bounty allowed on the manufacture of
those articles. The spirit of the people of New York seems
to be exerting itself for the safety of the City. I have sent
to Col. Hamilton Baron Steuben's ideas on the subject and
also have given them to Mr. McHenry, who is to go to New
York next week, and fortunately is in possession of certain
plans and maps, made by a Mr. Smith, and approved by
Montressor and a board of engineers, intended to point out
the proper place and the best method of fortifying the
harbour of New York.
I am with respect, Dear Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
W. North.
WILLIAM NORTH TO JAY.
[Philadelphia,] June 22, 1798.
Dear Sir,
I have only time to enclose your Excellency the last
communication of the President and to say that a bill is
now before the Senate to declare the treaty with France
void. This step I believe proper and shall support it; but
we shall go farther, and before we adjourn probably declare
War. This, it appears to me, there is no occasion for and
that no good will result from it.
Your opinions I have the greatest respect for and should
be happy to know your sentiments on this and every other
occasion.
I am with respects, Dear Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
W. North.
