To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 19 February 1805
From Albert Gallatin
[19 Feb. 1805]
This claim is an old loan office certificate which might have been funded under the funding act, until it became barred by act of 3 March 1795.
The operation of the last mentioned act was suspended for one year by act of 12 June 1798 (Vol. 4th page 123); and the certificate might have been paid off if presented before 12 June 1799: since which day it is barred by the act of limitation above mentioned (of 3 March 1795. Vol. 3d page 215)

For the claim, see John Abernethie to TJ, 1 Dec. 1804.
