Thomas Jefferson to John Barnes, 26 February 1810
To John Barnes
Monticello Feb. 26. 10
Dear Sir
Your letters to Genl Kosciuzko covering bills of exchange for £200. sterling have been duly recieved. I have inclosed the 1st to the Secretary of states office to be put under cover to General Armstrong with the dispatches of the department & by the safest conveyance occurring. I propose some time hence to ask a conveyance for the second in the same way, unless you think of any better. I have written to the General an explanation of the circumstances which obliged me to have recourse to his funds, & have no doubt of recieving his entire approbation. I am ever affectionately yours
Th: Jefferson
PoC (DLC); at foot of text: “Mr Barnes.”
