4080. JAY TREATY, House of representatives and.—[continued].

It is, indeed, surprising
you[the House of Representatives] have not
yet received the British treaty in form. I
presume you would never receive it were
not your cooperation on it necessary.—
To James Madison. Washington ed. iv, 131. Ford ed., vii, 62.
(M. March. 1796)
