DeWitt Clinton to Thomas Jefferson, 7 March 1822
From DeWitt Clinton
Albany 7 March 1822
Dear Sir
I have the pleasure of transmitting to You a report relative to the State of our Canals.
I also take the liberty of enclosing two metallic pens made by the Shakers near this City: They can manufacture enough for the supply of the U. S.—and their pens write better and are much cheaper than any imported.
With entire respect I am Your most Obedt servt
DeWitt Clinton
