- Summary
- Notes which John Jay prepared for his meeting with Grenville on this date. Includes John Jay's objections and questions concerning Grenville's "project" for a general treaty between the two nations (the first of the two projects enclosed in Grenville to John Jay 30 August 1794). John Jay raises questions on status of British subjects in U.S. territory; Indian trade; Commissioners for settlement of location of St. Croix River; navigation of the Mississippi--and its connection to commercial privileges of U.S. in British dominions; method of settlement of U.S. debts to British creditors and U.S. claims against Britain for illegal condemnation of shipping. Finds articles dealing with definitions of neutrality and shipping especially indefinite and unsatisfactory. Asks for an article forbidding either nation to impress the citizens of the other.
