1144. CARMICHAEL (William), Standing in Spain.—

With Mr. Carmichael I am unacquainted personally, but he stands on advantageous
grounds in the opinion of Europe,
and most especially in Spain. Every person,
whom I see from there, speaks of him with
great esteem. I mention this for your private
satisfaction, as he seemed to be little known in
Congress. Mr. Jay, however, knows him well.—
To Col. Monroe. Washington ed. i, 526.
