From Thomas Jefferson to James Innes, 27 February 1781

To James Innes

In Council Febry. 27. 1781.

Sir

I will notify to the Baron the necessity for the attendance of Genl. Nelson and your Self on the Legislature that he may take order in it. In the mean time I should hope the commands may be safely devolved on those next in rank.

I hope my last letter to you has made effectual provision against the disaffection of Militia.

I am &c. &c.,

T. J.

FC (Vi). My last letter to you: See TJ to Innes, 24 Feb. 1781, Vol. 4: 699.
