Dear Sir
I have been favored with yours of the 28 of last Month enclosing a letter for Mr Kempe, which I have forwarded by the Packet.1
It is with Pleasure we learn that the Convention will probably rise next week—Their Session has been of sufficient Duration to give their Proceedings the advantage of every argument that can be drawn from due Time spent in maturing them—
Mrs. Jay & our little Folks are well. We both flatter ourselves it will not be long before you will favor us with a Visit—as soon as I hear you have returned to Eliz. Town I will do myself the pleasure of immediately going over & passing a Day or two with You.—I am Dr. Sir your affte. & humble Servt,
John Jay
His Excellency Govr. Livingston
