91To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Cooper, 18 May 1825 (Jefferson Papers)
I send you a newspaper paragraph of mine, which I have published with a view to do good. The proceedings of the State of Georgia strike me with horror.

I was extremely glad to see the result of the Meeting in Philadelphia in favour of the measures of the Administration, and I meditated a long meeting of the same kind in this County.
