Summary
Thinks Britain wanted to make a good peace. But we must not trust them. Disappointed violence and mortified ambition are dangerous foundations on which to place confidence. We should mind our own business in foreign affairs. Jay does not believe it possible to get compensation for damages. The army should not be disbanded until all the British troops leave America
