- Abstract
- On considering Mr. Duane's letter of March 16th, the material to which he refers as journals cannot be exact copies of Jay's and Adams' letters to the Secretary for Foreign Affairs as they are mentioned as being "very short indeed," whereas the letters themselves were far from short. Concludes the journals are extracts or abridgements of letters and thinks it advisable that they see them to judge " how far they correspond with the Tenor and Purport of our Letters." Though Adams no longer enjoys a steady hand his general health is better than John Jay's. Concurs that the parties to the Holy Alliance have no right to dictate to other nations. It is honorable to Massachusetts that its political parties have been moderate and decorous; wishes the same were true of those in New York. Encloses another copy of Duane's letter, 16 March 1821.
