Summary
Fady's situation "mortifies" John Jay, the more so because of his expectations. What does Peter think of James Morris as Sheriff of New York? Certain military appointments in Westchester have caused surprise and disgust, but the Federalists "should give Information in Season, and not leave me to learn, what they ought to have communicated, by their subsequent Complaints." Asks whether Robert Morris (son of the late Chief Justice) and J.P. DeLancey should be appointed Road Superintendents. Wishes to know the character of Frederick Guion, and whether another Justice is really needed in New Rochelle.
