4From Thomas Jefferson to Charles Pinckney, 1 April 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
Your letter of Jan. 8. to the President of the U.S. having been referred to me, I have given the subject of it as mature consideration as I am able. Two neighboring and free governments, with laws equally mild and just, would find no difficulty in forming a convention for the interchange of fugitive criminals. Nor would two neighboring despotic governments, with laws of equal severity. The...

Your favor of Sep. 12 . came to hand on the 3d. inst. I have delayed acknoledging it in hopes of recieving the longer one you mentioned to have written. but that has not yet reached me.

Your favor of yesterday is just now put into my hands. it is so far from being improper to recieve the communications you had in contemplation as to arrangements in your state, that I have been in the constant expectation you would find time to do me the favor of calling & making them, when we could in conversation explain them better than by writing, and I should with frankness & thankfulness...
