William Short-William Carmichael diplomatic papers, 1793-1794.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/261224836

Papers include a statement of principles composed by Short and Carmichael (7 Dec. 1793), letter (20 Jan. 1794), and memorandum (21 Jan. 1794). In their statement, the two argue for America's right to freely navigate the Mississippi and the right of Americans to use the port of New Orleans. The letter, a translation of a letter from Spain's chief negotiator, the Duke of Alcudia, records Spain's affirmation and assurance of her good intentions towards the United States on the Georgia frontier, specifically in regards to not assisting Indians who had retreated into Spanish Florida after fighting Georgians. A memorandum from Short explains Spain's position as outlined in the duke's letter.
