3871To Thomas Jefferson from De Gascq, with Enclosure, 5 February 1787 (Jefferson Papers)
Vous aves vu sans doute Dans le Mercure de france No. 34, du 26 aout 1786 un extrait d’un ouvrage de Mr. Payne contre l’établissment du papier monoie dans vos états unis.

A raison de la publicité de...

Il est très vrai, Monsieur, que depuis que j’ai eu l’honneur de vous voir, J’ai été plusieurs Jours Sans Souffrir.
