To Thomas Jefferson from Jacob Wagner, 20 September 1804
From Jacob Wagner
Department of State 20 Septr. 1804.
Sir
To the Marquis Yrujo I have had the honor to deliver the letter enclosed in your note of the 15th. He proceeds this afternoon or to morrow morning on his journey to Monticello, and having stated to me that he will have occasion, when there, to make use of a copy of the Spanish Convention, I undertook to transmit one to you, Sir, which you will find enclosed. Nothing new has occurred since my package to Mr. Madison by the last mail.
With the most perfect respect, I have the honor to be, Sir, Your most obed. Servt.
Jacob Wagner
RC (DLC); at foot of text: “The President of the U. States”; endorsed by TJ as received from the State Department on 22 Sep. and “Yrujo” as so recorded in SJL. Enclosure: A Convention between His Catholic Majesty and the United States of America, for the Indemnification of Losses, of Individuals of Either Nation, during the Late War (Washington, D.C., 1803).
TJ’s note of the 15th to Wagner has not been found, nor is it recorded in SJL. It probably covered TJ’s letter to Carlos Martínez de Irujo of the same date.
For terms of the claims Convention of 1802 between Spain and the United States, see TJ to the Senate, 11 Jan. 1803 (Vol. 39:316-17).
