From Thomas Jefferson to Henry Banks, 31 March 1804

To Henry Banks

Washington Mar. 31. 04

Sir

Your letter of the 26th. was recieved last night, and that of the 22d. on the evening before Congress rose: but the act to which it referred had been already passed, and consequently it was too late for the representations then promised & recieved last night to have effect. Accept my salutations.

Th: Jefferson
