John Wayles Eppes to Thomas Jefferson, 21 January 1811
From John Wayles Eppes
Washington Jan. 21. 1811.
Dear Sir,
When I received your last letter the pamphlet the return of which you requested was in the hands of Mr Clay one of the gentlemen to whom you extended by a former letter the permission of reading it— I have just this moment received it in the House and have only time while a discussion on the Bank bill is progressing to put it under cover with my friendly wishes—
The first section of the Bill is struck out & a question is now depending for indefinite postponement—The Bill for the renewal of the charter will unquestionably fail—
Jno W Eppes
Tell Francis I will write to him by the next mail & inclose his Books if they can be procured in the city—
RC (ViU: TJP-ER); endorsed by TJ as received 2 Mar. 1811 and so recorded in SJL. Enclosure: TJ’s Statement on the Batture Case, 31 July 1810.
A 20 Feb. 1811 letter to TJ from Henry clay, not found, is recorded in SJL as received from Washington on 2 Mar. 1811.
