Summary
Has answered the "rude and insolent letter" of the Chevalier de Yrujo of 11 July in the event that this letter be laid before Co. Humphreys at Madrid or Congress. This answer has been printed although it is not to be published unless ordered by Congress. Is grateful for John Jay's approbation of the matter in which Pickering treated America's dispute with Spain relative to the Mississippi informer correspondence with the Spanish minister.
