Summary
Mr. Short took the Prussian treaty to London for Adams to sign and it should be in American soon. Spain has paid a great price for her treaty with Algiers and that state now seems to be preparing for hostilities against us. If Lamb does not arrive soon, Jefferson wants to send someone on to state a negotiation with that power.
