LETTER CCXII.--TO MR. NECKER, July 8, 1789
TO MR. NECKER.
Paris, July 8, 1789
Sir,
I have the honor to enclose you a copy of my letter to Monsieur de
la Fayette. When I called on him yesterday, he had already spoken to
Monsieur de Mirabeau, who acknowledged he had been in an error in what
he had advanced in the Assembly of the Nation, as to the proposition
supposed to have been made by me to your Excellency, and undertook to
declare his error, when the subject should be resumed by the Assembly,
to whom my letter to the Marquis de la Fayette will be also read.
I have thought it a duty, Sir, thus to correct, in the first moment, an
error, by which your name had been compromitted by an unfounded use
of mine, and shall be happy in every occasion of proving to you those
sentiments of profound respect and attachment, with which I have the
honor to be, your Excellency's most obedient and most humble servant,
Th: Jefferson.
LETTER CCXIII.--TO THE COUNT DE MONTMORIN, July 8, 1789
TO THE COUNT DE MONTMORIN.
Paris, July 8, 1789.
Sir,
My hotel having been lately robbed for the third time, I take the
liberty of uniting my wish with that of the inhabitants of this quarter,
that it might coincide with the arrangements of police, to extend to us
the protection of a guard.
