To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 26 January 1805
From Albert Gallatin
[26 Jan. 1805]
If the principle, doubtfully approved by Judge Peters, but adopted without reservation by the Comptroller, shall prevail, an unforseen additional expense of one or two hundred thousand dollars a year will fall on the United States. The 5000 dollars are only one term of a circuit court.
| There are annually | 28 | |
| such terms & | 68 | |
| district court terms—in all | 96 | terms in the U.S. |
RC (DLC: TJ Papers, 155:27141); undated, but see the preceding document; entirely in Gallatin’s hand.
