1To Thomas Jefferson from Isaac Cox Barnet, 20 February 1806 (Jefferson Papers)
Mr. de Salemberi having requested me to forward the enclosed Letter under my cover, I beg leave to seize the occasion to draw towards me for a moment the eye of the man on whose good opinion my happiness so materially depends.

Although it may appear presumptuous in me to adress myself directly to the first magistrate of my Country, particularly when my duty points out one of your executive departments as the regular chanel through which all public communications should be made, yet I hope sir, that the liberty I now take, may not be construed as an informality wanting in respectfull deference to the established...
