82From Thomas Jefferson to Littleton Dennis Teackle, 31 March 1826 (Jefferson Papers)
I am indebted to you for the communication of your law for the establishment of primary schools.

I am thankful for the very interesting message and documents of which you have been so kind as to send me a copy, and will state my recollections as to the particular passage of the message to which you ask my attention. on the conclusion of peace, Congress, sensible of their right to assume independance, would not condescend to ask it’s acknolegement from other nations, yet were willing, by...

I thank you, Sir, for the treatise of mr M c Culloch, and your much approved republication of it. long withdrawn from the business of the world, and little attentive to it’s proceedings, I rarely read any thing requiring a very strenuous application of the mind, and none requires it more than the subject of political Economy.
