To Thomas Jefferson from James Wilkinson, 23 June 1808
Washington
June 23. 1808
Sir
It has been imputed to me that pending the Agitations in the Western Country, occasion’d by Mr. Burr’s Projects, I did denounce many eminent Persons to You in a Letter, or Letters, which have not been published—being conscious that this like a thousand other Rumours, fabricated by my Enemies for my Injury, is void of foundation—I shall thank You Sir for such answer to this Note, as may establish the Truth, & do me Justice in this particular.
With perfect Respect I am Sir Yr. Obedt. Servt
