respected. As that declaration seemed to imply that
when he should receive such assurances he would
again send Envoys, it was not unnatural that he
should conceive himself in honour bound to do so.
His attachment to the dictates of honour and good
faith, even supposing it to have been too scrupulous, is
amiable and praiseworthy. Whether that declaration
was advisable, and whether the nomination of the
Envoys was made exactly in season, are questions
which, like others of the same kind, may receive different answers from different men ; but having nominated the Envoys and received the requisite assurances, I for my part consider the sending them as
a matter of course, and I do not concur in opinion
with those gentlemen who think they should nevertheless have been detained.
I regret that my absence deprived me of the pleasure of seeing the Rev. Mr. Andrews, and the more so
as he would have answered my inquiries respecting
many of my friends at Boston, and informed me of
your health.
With the best wishes that you may now and long
enjoy that valuable blessing,
I am, sir, your most obedient servant,
John Jay.
