Summary
Glad Jay agrees with his reasons for not publishing a defense right now. In no way implicated Gouverneur Morris in attacks on him. Did not speak prejudicially against the American cause; only spoke the truth about the situation and would never stoop to the dissimulations of a man like Searle. Told French instant relief was necessary if America was not to be defeated.
