To Thomas Jefferson from David Gelston, 29 April 1807
New York April 29th. 1807
Sir,
I have this day received from Mr. Cathalan at Marseille’s, a letter and bill of lading for a box said to contain 48 pots mustard and 36 bottles vinegar, by the Ship Franklin just arrived, which I shall forward to Washington, or its vicinity by the first proper opportunity.
The expenses attending, when ascertained, will be transmitted to you—
With great regard, I am, very sincerely yours
David Gelston
