From John Jay to Grenville, 30 September 1794
To Granville
Royal Hotel Pall—Mall 30 Sepr. 1794
My Lord
I have endeavoured to incorporate the Two Treaties in the enclosed Project, and added some articles, ^chiefly borrowed^ from the Treaty between great Britain and France
An article to comprehend the Provisions contemplated by the Lord Chancellor is still wanting. While the others are under Examination it may be prepared.
whenever ^as soon as when^ your Lordship may ^shall^ be ready to Converse with me on the Subject do me the Honor to name a Time most convenient to your Lordship.
So mutable are human affairs especially in these mutable Times, that it seems very expedient to put ^the sooner^ the peace & Friendship of our two Countries ^are put^ out of Hazard, as soon as possible ^the better^ If the next Packet could carry the pleasing Tidings, it would be a happy Circumstance— With very sincere Respect and Esteem I have the Honor to be my Lord Your Lordships most obedient and most h’ble Servant
John Jay
The Right Honorable Lord Grenville
