8566. TREATIES OF COMMERCE, British.—[further continued].

There is no doubt what
the determination [of the British Court with
respect to a treaty] will be; but it will be useful
to have it; as it may put an end to all
further expectations on our side the water, and
show that the time is come for doing whatever
is to be done by us for counteracting the unjust
and greedy designs of this country [England].—
To John Jay. Washington ed. i, 539. Ford ed., iv, 200.
(L. March. 1786)
