23To Thomas Jefferson from Tench Coxe, 20 March 1791 (Jefferson Papers)
I have for some time entertained an opinion that it would be an useful Service to the United States to demonstrate to every man of Candor in the British Nation the very great errors and deviations from fact, which are to be found in Lord Sheffields pamphlet.
