V. Thomas Jefferson to George Washington

July 18. 1793.

Th: Jefferson has the honor to inclose to the President a copy of the questions to be proposed to the judges, which he has endeavored to make with exactness, but cannot be sure he may not have mistaken some of the interlineations of the original. He has added at the end those from his own paper which were agreed to. They are the numbers 22. &c. to the end.

He incloses also the rough draughts of Colo. Hamilton and Genl. Knox; the former may serve to correct any errors of copying which he may have committed.

RC (DNA: RG 59, MLR); addressed: “The Presiden[…]”; endorsed by Tobias Lear. Tr (Lb in same, SDC). Not recorded in SJL. Enclosures: Documents i, iii, and iv, the last prior to the addition of the final question.
