11From Thomas Jefferson to Nathanael Greene, 12 January 178[6] (Jefferson Papers)
Your favour of June 1. did not come to hand till the 3d of September. I immediately made enquiries on the subject of the frigate you had authorised your relation to sell to this government, and I found that he had long before that sold her to government, and sold her very well as I understood.
