Monticello Sep. 13. 08.

Sir

I troubled you by the last post with an answer to the petitions against the embargo. I now inclose the copy of an answer to the Counter-Addresses, which being not likely to be so numerous, I will pray you to print me 50. copies & to send them by the post which will leave Washington on Monday the 19th. inst. I salute you with esteem & respect.
