Pardon me therefore, Sir, if I appear solicitous to obtain the ultimate
decision of his Majesty's Council on these subjects, and to ask as early
a communication of that decision, as shall be convenient.
I have the honor to be, with sentiments of the most profound esteem and
respect, your Excellency's most obedient and most humble servant,
Th: Jefferson.
LETTER CXIII.--TO JOHN ADAMS, November 13, 1787
TO JOHN ADAMS.
Paris, November 13, 1787.
Dear Sir,
This will be delivered you by young Mr. Rutledge. Your knowledge of his
father will introduce him to your notice. He merits it, moreover, on his
own account.
I am now to acknowledge your favors of October the 8th and 26th. That of
August the 25th was duly received, nor can I recollect by what accident
I was prevented from acknowledging it in mine of September the 28th. It
has been the source of my subsistence hitherto, and must continue to
be so, till I receive letters on the affairs of money from America. Van
Staphorsts and Willinks have answered my drafts. Your books for Marquis
de la Fayette are received here.
