11From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Pinckney, 20 March 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
The death of Mr. Barclay having rendered it necessary to appoint some other person to proceed to Algiers on the business of peace and ransom, the President has thought proper to appoint Colo.

I wrote you last on the 7th. of May, since which I have received yours of Mar. 12. Apr. 5. 6. 6. and 10.

I now trouble you with another packet of the same kind...

Your favor of Aug. 7. came to hand on the 6th. inst. and gave me the first certain information of your safe arrival.
