RC (DLC); at foot of text: “The President of the United States”; endorsed by TJ as received from the Treasury Department on 6 June and “Logwood” and so recorded in SJL. Enclosures: (1) Gallatin to Joseph Scott, 6 June, advising Scott that, as an attempted rescue of Thomas Logwood encouraged the executive of Virginia to order a guard for the prisoner, he is authorized “to reimburse the State for the expence incurred on that account” and to maintain a guard as long as necessary; he requests that the preferred form of a voucher be a certificate from a U.S. judge, but barring that, one from the governor will suffice; “although no power is vested in any of them to order a guard, it has not been unusual for them to certify that, in their opinion, a guard was necessary” (Tr in same, TJ Papers, 141:24406; in a clerk’s hand). (2) John Page to TJ, 1 June.
