Change in neighbing States and thus
relative to qualification desirable in this person

Another word as to the continuance in office of
an Envoy from your State.

The thread of intercourse between the two countries,
including all treaties, & negotiations I consider as
being by the supposition, carried on unbroken, were it only
by the uninterrupted industry of your English Agent.
But in the state of wants and demands on your side the water
I see an object continually varying: proportioned to the rapidity of this
variation, is the demand that will have place on the
part of your English Augent here.

A point question to which in looking over the above list
may perhaps present itself as having some claim to attention
is — whether it might not be of use that in regard the case
of the Agent sent from your country there should be
a change of the person should at the end of no long interval
habitually have place. Say for example at the end of
three years. The man reason that presents itself to me
as the most striking and at the same time in the application
to the demand for appropriate service the most extensive, is —
that in instituted by the extent and importance of the changes which
in the course of such an interval may in a mostly fixed and
rising political state country be indeed can not but be anticipated.

At the end of three years from the departure of the a former
Agent, suppose then for argument sake another sent to take
his place. What shall be done with the one thus displaced?
I answer let him be sent sent to some other country — to
the country next in importance: suppose France or the Anglo-
American United States. He will thus arrive in the second
country furnished stocked with and improved with appropriate aptitude encreased by the mass stock of information
attached and experience had acquired in the first.

That in the case of the Englishman employed by Columbia in England, this
demand
demand for a change of
person has no application,
seems sufficiently obvious.
manifest.
