This Convention terminated the 1778 agreements made during the Revolutionary War, confirmed the principle of free trade & free goods between the two countries and ended the 1798–1800 Quasi-War, an undeclared naval war waged primarily in the Caribbean. The full text of the treaty is here, with the signers carrying over to page 3.
Four pages, never-trimmed margins, an older repair to pages 2 and 3 but not affecting the mentioned content.
