LETTER CV.--TO MR. HAMMOND, April 13,1792
The Secretary of State presents his compliments to Mr. Hammond, and
encloses him the draught of a letter to the President of the United
States, which he has prepared to accompany Mr. Hammond's communication
of the 11th and letter of the 12th. The whole will probably be laid by
the President before the legislature, and perhaps communicated to the
public, in order to let the merchants know that they need not suspend
their shipments, but to the islands of Jersey and Guernsey. Before
sending the letter to the President, the Secretary of State has chosen
to communicate it to Mr. Hammond in a friendly way, being desirous to
know whether it meets his approbation, or whether he would wish any
alterations in it.
April 13,1792.
