To Thomas Jefferson from Robert Smith, 6 March 1807
Mar. 6. 1807
Sir,
As I could not consistently apply to Capt Hull by letter either official or private for explanations in relation to the suggestions of the letter of Mr Taber of Rhode Island, I caused my chief Clerk to write, as of his own accord, a proper letter and the enclosed is the reply of Capt Hull.
Respecty.
Rt. Smith
