Will you forgive a second address on the subject of the place left by Mr Meredith? — The considerations, by which this application is supported, are 1. The openings of providence in favor of the General Objects of my many addresses— 2. No Injury will be done to any man should the President comply with this request.— 3.

4To Thomas Jefferson from DeWitt Clinton, 14 September 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
In the event of a resignation of the Loan Officer of this State (which I am informed will be the case) I have taken the liberty to recommend James Nicholson Esquire of this City as his successor: His connection with the Secretary of the Treasury will I hope excuse my addressing this letter immediately to yourself.
