To Diego de Gardoqui

New York 7th. October 1789

Sir

I this Day received the Letter which you did me the Honor to write, dated the 3d. of this Month.1—

Circumstances having rendered it necessary that I should continue, though not officially, to superintend the Department of foreign Affairs until relieved by a Successor, permit me to assure you, that Don Joseph de Viar shall always experience from me in that and every other Capacity, the Attention due to his public and private Character, and that Opportunities of evincing my Respect for both will always give me Pleasure.— With great Esteem and Regard &c:

(signed) John Jay
