4311To Thomas Jefferson from Pierre Samuel Dupont, 6 November 1787 (Jefferson Papers)
Je pense, Monsieur, qu’il serait très necessaire que vous vissiez Mr. Lambert aujourd’hui sur les deux heures afin de faire signer la lettre provisoire, l’arrêt du conseil n’etant point encore expedié, et ne pouvant vraisemblablement l’etre assez tôt pour que vous puissiez l’envoyer par le Paquebot du havre. La lettre suffira pour donner connoissance au Congrès et aux assemblées des...

Je ne sais Monsieur comment je pourrois reconnoitre toutes vos honnetetés.

J’ai la perspective d’obtenir encore de la faveur, mais je ne puis l’esperer avant le mois de janvier prochain. J’ai toujours attendu, et la perte que j’ai faite de ma chere Protectrice m’a ôté...
