Thomas Jefferson Papers

To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 5 December 1807

Saturday 5 Dec. 1807

Dear Sir

If you approve, I will send the enclosed on Monday to the Committee. May I, when conversing with them, say that it is the opinion of the Executive that it would be better at this time to suspend the act? or in what manner & with what modification must the opinion be expressed? I mean to friends—

Respectfully

Albert Gallatin

If you can send me an answer to morrow, it will enable me to make the communication early on Monday. If you had no objection, I think that an official recommendation from you would be preferable.
