I write this Line by the English Packet, just to inform you that Col. Harmar arriv’d here last Monday Evening with the Ratification, &c. and that Mr Jay & myself, (Messrs Adams & Laurens being absent) have written to Mr Hartley at London, that we are ready to exchange with him. I have not heard that the Delay is likely to occasion any Difficulty. I had before communicated to him your Letter of the 5th of January, which gave the Reasons of it.6 With great Esteem, I am, Dear Friend, Yours most sincerely
