Summary "The Diplomatic Correspondence of the American Revolution, Vol. 04" by Jared Sparks is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This volume establishes a detailed compilation of letters exchanged by notable figures such as Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and John Jay, among others, concerning the diplomatic relations and negotiations during the American Revolution. It offers a rich insight into the strategies and discussions that shaped America's path to independence. The opening of the volume introduces significant correspondence beginning in late August 1782, detailing interactions between American diplomats and key figures, including Count de Vergennes and Richard Oswald. The letters reflect ongoing negotiations regarding peace and independence, with Franklin highlighting the need for strong commercial ties between France and the United States.
