Summary
Will send seeds in the fall. Wants Livingston to take care of Peter. None of the Jays too well. Spain was especially bad for them. The boundaries of the states should be settled. Our credit must be restored. Europe especially skeptical on this point. Glad for the peace but it is also a solemn occasion when one considers that so many of our citizens died for this liberty.
