To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 25 February 1804

From Albert Gallatin

Saturday afternoon [25 Feb. 1804]

Dear Sir

I could not obtain a copy of the revenue law for New Orleans and am informed that it was sent to you. I was obliged to close the instructions without it & may have omitted some important particulars. I will thank you to send it when you return the sketch of instructions. If both could be sent to my house some time to morrow, it would accelerate the business.

Respectfully Your obedt. Servt

Albert Gallatin

RC (DLC); partially dated; addressed: “The President of the United States”; endorsed by TJ as received from the Treasury Department on 25 Feb. and “revenue law N.O.” and so recorded in SJL.
