Yranda refused to give Jay a part of the money--he would transmit only the whole sum. The remittances from Congress have not yet arrived. Encloses papers which will show the state of affairs in Spain. Jay has been permitted to accept bills to the amount of between 10 and 12 thousand dollars. As the Court seems favorable to the United States, Jay hopes that the unpleasant measure will terminate well. Jay cannot afford Mr. Ross the aid mentioned in Franklin's letter. He must request further credit in order to pay his and Carmichael's salary. Count Montmorin knows about the enclosed papers. Franklin's Danish correspondent was very civil and very much embarrassed. This indicates more caution in the future. Cautions Franklin to be very careful in his mode of sending mail.
