United States--History--Revolution, 1775-1783; Jay, John, 1745-1829
Summary
Has decided to forward to Grenville the complete cases of captures rather
than making abstracts of same. Will send them at Grenville's convenience. Unfortunate
that ships lately departed for America from England will carry accounts of Americans
impressed into British service; this will add to discontent arising from reports of
American captains returning from Indies with tales of "severities" at hands of British.
"People who suffer will feel; and their friends and others will also feel for
them."
