John E. Hall to Thomas Jefferson, 15 March 1814
From John E. Hall
Baltimore 15th March 1814
Sir
I should have answered your letter sooner, but that I have been kept in almost daily expectation of receiving the Law Journal from my printer at Philadelphia. It has at length arrived, & I take the earliest opportunity of sending you a copy. I trust you will approve of the corrections, which it was thought proper to make in your “Defence.” I thought myself justified in the act, by your MS. acknowledgment of the existence of such inadvertencies, in the copy which you transmitted to my friend, Judge Cooper.
I am Sir
J. E. Hall
RC (DLC); endorsed by TJ as received 18 Mar. 1814 and so recorded in SJL.
For the reprinted version of TJ’s defence in the batture controversy enclosed here, see note to Hall to TJ, 15 Nov. 1813. TJ transmitted a copy of his original 1812 pamphlet on the subject to Thomas cooper in a letter dated 10 July 1812.
