Blenarhassett—Both have made default; the latter descended the Ohio & passed Limestone about the 28th. or 29th. of Decr.; rumour said Burr was with him, but this arose I believe from vague...

79118William Wirt to Thomas Jefferson, 18 January 1810 (Jefferson Papers)
About four years ago you were so good as to state that if the life of Henry was not destined to come out very speedily you would endeavour to recollect what might be of service to it and that having run your course with him for more than twenty years and witnessed the part he bore in every great question you would perhaps be able to recal some interesting anecdotes.
