From Albert Gallatin, 17 January 1807 (Abstract)
§ From Albert Gallatin. 17 January 1807. “The instructions from the President are necessary before I can purchase the bills. Every thing in relation to this must be matter of record, in order that the ground on which this assistance is given may hereafter appear. Will you write to me to day or Monday a letter directing me in the President’s name to purchase the bills?”
RC (DLC). 1 p.; appended to Louis-Marie Turreau to Gallatin, 16 Jan. 1807 (in French), requesting that Gallatin meet the secretary of the French legation to deliver $15,000 in bills on a $60,000 loan that the Jefferson administration had agreed to give the French consul general. For the agreement, see PJM-SS, 12:357.
