- Summary
- Acknowledges receipt of 8 May. Duane is distressed to hear of the grave illnesses in Jay's family. Duane disclaims any responsibility for the report on the arrival of the commissioners. A congressional resolution recommending that the colonies assume all the responsibilities of government will soon be published. A matter of still greater moment is afoot. Duane hopes that "my Friend Bob" will arrive soon to augment the New York delegation. Encloses a note from Mr. Lynch concerning the mare he wants Jay to purchase, letters for JAY, and a letter to be forwarded to Mr. Jones. [These not here.]
