From Thomas Jefferson to Albert Gallatin, 1 February 1807

Sunday Feb. 1. 07.

Th: J. to mr Gallatin

The more I consider the letter of our Ministers in London the more seriously it impresses me. I believe the sine qua non we made is that of the nation, and that they would rather go on without a treaty than with one which does not settle this article. under this dilemma, and at this stage of the business, had we not better take the advice of the Senate? I ask a meeting at 11. oclock tomorrow to consult on this question.

NHi: Papers of Albert Gallatin.
