3307. FRIENDSHIP WITH ENGLAND, Mutual interest.—

Time and prudence
on the part of the two governments
may get over these [irritations, produced by
the war of 1812]. Manifestations of cordiality
between them, friendly and kind offices
made visible to the people on both sides, will
mollify their feelings, and second the wishes
of their functionaries to cultivate peace and
promote mutual interest.—
To Sir John Sinclair. Washington ed. vii, 23.
(M. 1816)
