[p. 189] 29. Aug 95. My dear Sir The executive may be absolved as no doubt they will be by the Jacobins on the Recall of [undecipherable: Munroe] but the measure is perfectly proper — Since [undecipherable] there was perfect interference in a co operation from a foreign minister in the System a [undecipherable: design] of his government will become a clearly [undecipherable] that minister can be no longer a fit instrument of the country's affairs — Now in this case there can hardly be a doubt that there was no co operation in the part of the System lately [undecipherable: exhibited], the [underline: Treaty] — a new minister will be able to conciliate his country['s] [undecipherable: explanation], with the duties the [undecipherable] or as an ally of France — This it may be suspected has not been the inclination a conduct — Yet considering the [undecipherable] taken in this country by our factious fellows to misrepresent the temper of Gov^t towards France & to stir up [undecipherable: indignation] on it w^d appear as a measure of prime consequence to have a man there who could construct, not [undecipherable: increase] these misrepresentations. I do rejoice at the measure — One of the Pinkneys is a man of capital parts it is said — I only hope [he] may not be the same Treaty Spouter — I don't [undecipherable: doubt] however that it is the Mr P. of whose genius & learning I have heard much & who will be an ornament to the corps — You will be brilliant as well as strong in the foreign corps — I had hoped that Ames would have been the man if a Mission took place & was yet aware of the obstacle in his seat — —— I am nursing [undecipherable] a curious [undecipherable] — She has [undecipherable] pints of highly [undecipherable] blood taken from her [undecipherable] days since yesterday. To so [undecipherable] a friend [undecipherable] mention such things. The Protest of the [undecipherable] is a singular thing even in the annals of folly — When I tell you that I am a little [undecipherable] on the subject of receiving a letter peculiarly circumstanced [undecipherable] in [undecipherable] you will not be surpris'd at my taking the liberty [undecipherable] inclosing a letter for our old friend [undecipherable] — [the undecipherable] sent me several sheets of Poetry without a word of Politics. Y^rs my dear Sir sincerely & affectionately W.V. Murray [29 Aug^t 1795 / Wm V. Murray] [Hon^ble / M^r McHenry]
