- Summary
- A note in Jay's hand and signed by him, which appears on the title sheet of Jay's correspondence with Carmichael, reads: "Care should be taken of these Papers - they include Letters to and from William Carmichael - a man who mistook cunning for wisdom; and who in pursuing his Purposes, preferred the guidance of artifice and simulation, to that of Truth and Rectitude - He finally yielded to intemperance and died a bankrupt."
