8582To Thomas Jefferson from Robert R. Livingston, 28 October 1802 (Jefferson Papers)

While the union between France & Russia subsists, the discontents which almost every nation in Europe feels to the extreme loftiness of the first, will be...

The Navy agent has been instructed to pay to mr. Reich to the full amount of the memm. which you furnished me. This he will not accept. Presuming upon your friendly interposition he treats with disdain every proposition made by us.
