Book Description
Jefferson, Secretary of State, writes Knox to hastily give his thoughts on the treaty of Hopewell, the act of cession of N. Carolina and the act of acceptance by Congress. States that Congress's act of acceptance followed the Treaty of Hopewell, and that North Carolina can not use their right of preemption to take away the right of occupation of the Cherokees. The question would be a disagreeable one between the general government, a particular government, and individuals. Jefferson thinks purchasing from the Cherokees the right of occupation is one solution. Docketed by Knox.

Book Description
With separate (disconjugate) docketing leaf. Discusses diplomatic problems with Great Britain concerning American neutrality and the execution of the Treaty of Paris. We wish to be neutral... if they will execute the treaty fairly. Written at a time when Britain and Spain were on the brink of war. Jefferson was concerned about Britain trying to conquer adjacent areas like Florida. In the fall of 1789 Alexander Hamilton began informal meetings with a representative of Great Britain, Major George Beckwith in Quebec. In the spring of 1790, President Washington sent Governeur Morris to England with objective of settling unresolved terms in the Treaty of Paris. The British government did not comply with any of Morris' requests before his departure in September. In early 1790, Britain was on the verge of war with Spain over conflicting claims in the Pacific Northwest and considered requesting permission for troops to pass through the U.S. to attack the Spanish possessions of Louisiana and Florida. The situation was resolved without bloodshed.
