From Thomas Jefferson to La Rochefoucauld d’Enville, 24 April 1790

To La Rochefoucauld d’Enville

New York Apr. 24. 1790.

Sir

Permit me to introduce to you the bearer hereof Mr. Horrÿ, a young gentleman of South Carolina who proposes to visit Paris in the course of a tour he is about to make. His connections and circumstances are among the most distinguished in that state, and, tho I have not the honor of a personal acquaintance with him, yet I am authorised from as good authority, to assure you that his talents and merit will justify any attentions you may be so good as to shew him. I will beg leave, thro you, to present him also to the Dutchesses Danville and de la Rochefoucault, to whose kind remembrance I am happy in every occasion of recalling myself; as well as of repeating to you assurances of those sentiments of respect & attachment, with which I have the honor to be, Monsieur le Duc, Your most obedient & most humble servt.,

Th: Jefferson
