I rec d this morning your favour of Feb. 22.—the more agreable as it was not very confidently expected. I should be glad to see M r Copley. Charles brought the Treaty from Col. John Smith who brought it from Lisbon. I hope you will have Letters by the Vessell you mention from Rotterdam. The Treaties with Spain & Algiers have been unanimously Sanctioned by senate and that with Britain is...
I received in due time your favor of August 24, the subject of which has since been under the deliberation of both houses. The act, which has been the result of their attention to the petitions of New Port Providence and other towns, will appear to you, probably before this letter. Whether it will in all respects be conformable to your wishes, I am not able to say: but it seemed to be the...

The Weather hot and dry. One great Advantage of the Christian Religion is that it brings the great Principle of the Law of Nature and Nations, Love your Neigh­ bour as yourself, and do to others as you would that others should do to you, to the Knowledge, Belief and Veneration of the whole People.

Captain John ⟨mutilated⟩ of Harvard in the Massachusetts, has been recommended to me, by So many respectable characters, and in Such handsome terms, that I cannot refuse his request of a Line to the President of the United States in his favour.

Fair. No Clergyman to day.
Among the Candidates for the Honour of public Employment, under the New Government there is one, whose connection in my family, and public relation to me, in the late legation to S t. James’s would render my total silence on his account, liable to misinterpretation, as proceeding, either from a want of esteem, confidence, or affection for him on the one hand, or to a failure of respect to The...
After wishing you many happy and prosperous returns of the Season, and a Speedy mitigation of the Severity of the Winter, I wish to know whether you have any Letters from my Sons. I have Seen a Short one, from Thomas to his Mother of the 5th Oct. which came I Suppose by the Vessell from Rotterdam and gave me hopes that more, might come by the Same Opportunity. I Should be obliged to you, if...
The Bearer of this letter is Mr Lear the late Secretary to President Washington a gentleman universally esteemed and beloved wherever he is known. I beg Leave to introduce him to your Acquaintance and Friendship. This Country is too happy in the Enjoyment of that Liberty which Cost them so dear to risque it, by medling in foreign Wars: and too gratefull to those who assisted them it, to join...
By my Son Charles, who arrived Yesterday, in good Health, I received the Letter you did me, the honour to write me, on the fifteenth of this month with the Letters enclosed for the Duke D’Almodavar and the Marquis De Santa Cruz.— These Letters Shall be delivered as you desire, to my Friend, Don Diego De Gardoqui, by the first Opportunity and that Minister will no doubt be flattered with the...
There is nothing improper in your application of the 23 d of Feb y nor should I find fault with your seeking honor or emolument. Every man has a right to seek both. M r Remsen has been many years in the office of foreign affairs and has qualifications and merits which preclude all competition: M r Alden is another in a similar predicament, so that there is not a possibility of your success in...
