I had a very comfortable ride to Rye & found Aunt remarkably well, she & Helen were mutually delighted to see each other, Aunt & Effy both wish to keep her there— They went with me after dinner to M r . Munro’s after paying a short visit I proceeded to M r . Watts’s & spent the evening agreably with Matilda— M r . Watts was out electioneering until 11 O’Clock— it is thought Brother will be...

I yesterday rec d . your favor of the 1 st . & will with pleasure attend to your wishes respecting M rs . Chandler, either to-morrow or on Monday—to-day it would be unpleasant to encounter the crowd— It gives me great pleasure to tell you that Mary continued remarkably well the whole of yesterday, & slept thro’ so much noise that my apprehensions respecting the firing ringing &c on her account...
243To John Jay from Maria Jay Banyer, 17[–18] February 1825 (Jay Papers)
Accept my thanks for your kindness in sending me to town. I fear it has again proved an inconvenience to the family, the roads & weather were so very unfavorable that the horses can hardly have escaped injury returning— The ride & the exercise I have since used, has been more beneficial to my health than could have been expected, which makes me more solicitous than ever that you should resort...

I have not had the pleasure of hearing from Bedford since I left it & am now very anxious for letters. William with his wife & M rs . M c .Vickar arrived here on Thursday & the next morning proceeded on their journey— from a place 35 miles this side of Utica he wrote me a few lines respecting a Trunk, in which he says they are all well & that he had never had a more delightful ride— M r ....

I hope that gratitude is now the prevailing sentiment of my heart, gratitude to my God for all his Mercies, & gratitude to the dear friends he has given me, for all their kindness, among the innumerable instances of which your letters can never be forgotten— your last has strengthened my resolution to “cast all my care” on one who with infinite condescension we are told “careth for us— [”] He...

Allow me to congratulate you on the manner in which Brother Peter has distinguished himself, I hear of him in all companies with pride & pleasure. He would have been Candidate for the Office of Governor if his consent could have been obtained— his declining I think does him great honor, few Men situated as he is could have resisted the temptation. I am truly thankful that he did resist it,...

‘Tho’ I think of you constantly, yet it is not always in my power to tell you that I do so, nor is it ever possible for me to express the Love Reverence & Admiration which always accompanies my recollection of the best of Parents— as such you will rejoice in the preservation of your Children & unite your thanks with theirs for those blessings they probably owe to your prayers— There are fewer...

Your favors by Brother W m . & by the last mail have been rec d . & are now gratefully acknowledged, that by E.

249To John Jay from François de Barbé-Marbois, 2 August 1784 (Jay Papers)
J’aime a croire que cinq années d’éloignement des ce pays ci ne vous ont pas fait oublier ceux à qui vous avés bien voulu marquer de l’interêt, et quelque peu durable qu’ait été votre sejour ici après mon arrivée je me souviens avec beaucoup de plaisir de l’accueil que j’y ay reçu de vous. Je desire beaucoup d’etre dans le cas de traiter d’affaires avec votre Excellence, et je suis fort...

Il en a desirer que le Congress veuille bien faire communiquer au Chargé des affaires de France les mesures qui ont été prises ou celles qui le seront en consequence de la note qu’il a eu l’honneur de remettre au Commencemen du mois de Decembre dernire touchant les affaires d’Espagne.
