John H. Cocke to Thomas Jefferson, 15 November 1819
From John H. Cocke
Bremo Novr 15. 1819
Dear Sir,
Yours of the 5. inclosing Dr Coopers 3 letters, did not reach me until late the day before yesterday—or an answer wou’d have been more promptly returned.
I agree with you as to the reasonableness of Dr Coopers propositions, and concur in your proposal to accept them
May it not be as well to add, in case a Bankrupt law passes & Dr Cooper obtains the appointment he mentions—then, we wou’d not expect to be called upon for the $1500 in advance?
Yours with highest respect & Esteem
John H. Cocke
