The Webster-Ashburton Treaty of 1842, which led to the settlement of the Canadian boundary dispute, was instrumental in maintaining peace between Great Britain and the United States. Jones analyzes the events that aggravated relations to show the affect of America's states' rights policy, and he concludes that the two countries signed the treaty because they considered it the wisest alternative to war, not because of the often-claimed strategic distribution of money.

Writes to his sister-in-law, enclosing a note of introduction for British foreign minister Lord Alexander Ashburton and James Paige, Harriette's husband. Instructs Harriette to have the note sealed and presented on [Ashburton's] arrival. States, You will hear that the the [sic] Treaty is done! and I am almost done, too, referring to the Webster-Ashburton Treaty of 1842, which defined the North Eastern boundary between the United States and Canada and resulted in a lasting peace agreement between Britain and America. Reports that the only issue not negotiated with Ashburton was that of the Fisheries, likely referring to the fishing rights of each country in shared waters.
