Summary
John Jay's brother [James] who is delivering this letter will explain to Washington "a mode of correspondence, which may be of use, provided proper agents can be obtained." It has proven useful to John Jay himself in a trial period of three years. John Jay hopes that "we shall remain absolutely silent on the subject."
