3069. FOREIGN AGENTS, Secret.—

We
want an intelligent, prudent native, who will
go to reside at New Orleans, as a secret correspondent,
for $1000 a year. He might do
a little business, merely to cover his real office.
Do point out such a one. Virginia ought to offer
more loungers equal to this, and ready for
it, than any other State.—
To James Madison. Ford ed., vi, 269.
(Pa., 1793)
