Summary
Compliments to B. The minister's answer to the Embassador is polite and cautious and if sincere will demand Jays thanks and acknowledgment. The minister errs if he believes Jay views personal consequences as important other than as they affect political interests of the two countries. Acknowledgment of friendly interpretations of minister; assurance of gratitude and its influence which every American owes to the first friend and steadfast ally of the United States.
