Pam, 2d Oft. 1798.
Sir—On hearing of yout late
nomination as commander in
chief of the American armies,
l rejoice at it, not bee all Ic 1
believe the war which that no
mination contemplates is yet
invitablc, and that it will furnilh
an occalion for a further display
of- your military talents, but
becaule it may enable you to
exert your influence to a grea*
cr effect iri preventing the war,
!) y becoming more the centre
of information than you could
be in your retirement, you will
be better able to judge of the
dispositions of both count res, Sc
to offci inch counlels to your
government as may tend to re
move the ohlticles that will op
pole them (elves to a reconjci
lation. Were you now prefi.
dent of the UmieQ Stales, L
ihodld not addiels you this let
t ~ occaule, not knowing my
inclination for the trancjuility
oi a letned life you might think
bn 1 was It; king a place, or
nad lome la-ther object in view
in n the limp e one of promo**
ting peace between the two re*
* But I hope under
preient tircuuiltances, thatyoU,
w.l. believe my motive to be
pure and unmixed, and that
l .e object of my letter is to call
your attention to the true date
of faCts.
Pei haps few men, who can
not pretend to have been in
the leciets 'of either govern
mem ate in a better fi uaiion
than myfelf to judge of the
motives of both ; to afllgn ( he

neither of chern has the inclina

of fnitreft, on both sides, is

government, iho’ fenlible of

is ignorant of it, w ith respect to
