Thomas Jefferson Papers

Daniel Brent to Thomas Jefferson, 7 November 1822

From Daniel Brent

Washington, 7th November 1822.

Dear Sir,

I have just received your favor of the 31st ult, enclosing a Letter for Mr Gallatin, which I will take great Pleasure in forwarding, with the first Despatches of the Department of State.

From an impression that you would be not a little interested and gratified by the reading of them, I had the satisfaction, some time ago, as soon as they came from the Press, to transmit to you, under a Blank Cover, a Collection of Papers in relation to the Fisheries and Mississippi.

I remain, Dear Sir, with perfect Esteem and Respect, your faithful, obedt servt

Daniel Brent.
