From John Jay to Grenville, 21 March 1795
To Grenville
Royal Hotel. Pall Mall 21 March 1795
My Lord
on Tuesday next I am to dine with Mr. Vaughan at Hackney—1 Having hitherto availed myself of only one Invitation from that Gentleman, an Appology would not be kindly recieved—
on Thursday and Friday I am not engaged, but as the one may be more convenient to your Lordship than the other, I forbear naming either—
It is very desireable that some measures to facilitate the Business in question should be concerted— the parties interested would be gratified, & the united States obliged— If america was set right as to the affair of the Indians; and relieved from West India Judges and Privateers, not better than Indians, ill Humour, having nothing to feed upon, would dye away— A discerning minister, true to your Lordships conciliatory views, and possessed if possible of your Prudence and self command, cannot be too early at Philadelphia— I am convinced my Lord! that unless your Vigilance & Interposition extend to whatever may affect the Relations between the two Countries, all will not go and continue well— with every Sentiment of Esteem I am my Lord Your Lordships most obt. Servt.
John Jay
The Right Honorable Lord Grenville
