They had already felt the advantages bèstowed on them and to the United States (to which Louisiana has been Joined) in the four years past of your First Presidency, in which you have proved to all the world, that a Man placed at the head of a Government, may acquire a more Solid & lasting Glory, by an Economic & Fatherly Administration in the Interior, & in Settling the differences with other Nations, by Treaties Grounded on Justice and mutual Interest, than by Wars and Conquests.

Could the Electors make a better Choice, than to Continue to Put at their head, the Same, who wants four and Probably Eight Years more, to Perfectionate and Compleat the Great Objects, he has already Laid the foundations? & who Could better execute & Carry to a Perfection Such Vast Plans, than the Author himself?

Sir Your most obedient humble & Devoted Servant
