Question

The earliest of these sources is the one that is known as _____ and because the backdrop for Jay's version of events is the area around blink it is likely he lives there perhaps in the Royal courts of _______ and _______

Answer 1

The earliest of these sources is the Letter of Introduction which mentions John Jay and suggests he lived in New York City, possibly in Manhattan. The source also hints at a sophisticated urban setting, possibly the Morgan Library in New York City.

Step-by-step explanation:

The earliest of these sources is the one that is known as The Letter of Introduction. This letter mentions John Jay, the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and a close political confidant to George Washington. The letter states that Stuart arrived in New York City in early May of 1793 and had a visit with Jay, suggesting that Jay lived there during that time.

The backdrop for Jay's version of events in the letter is the area around Manhattan. The neighborhood is described as a highly favored place that had been the scene of marauding, refugees, and border chivalry during the war. This suggests that Jay may have lived in Manhattan and was familiar with the events occurring there.

Although not directly stated, the mention of the Morgan Library in New York City could also indicate that Jay lived in or near the city. The illuminated manuscript described in the source suggests a sophisticated urban setting, possibly Paris, but also mentions the Capetian kingdom in France. However, without further evidence, it is more likely that the Morgan Library connection indicates Jay's residence in New York City.
