TO THOMAS JEFFERSON.

MAD. MSS.
Washington,
Mar: 6, 1812.

Dear Sir,—I return the letter from Foronda inclosed
in yours of the 19th. Feby. I find I shall not
be able to read his lucubrations in print. The letter
from Dr. Guantt[?] is in the hands of the Secy. of war,
and will not be unheeded; but the course the nominations
have taken makes it doubtful whether the
wishes in behalf of his son can be fulfilled. You will
see that Congs., or rather the H. of Rs., have got down
the dose of taxes.[47] It is the strongest proof they
could give that they do not mean to flinch from the
contest to which the mad conduct of G. B. drives
them. Her perseverance in this seems to be sufficiently
attested by the language of Ld. Liverpoole &
Mr. Perceval in their parliamentary comments on
the Regent's message. The information from F. is
pretty justly described in the paragraph inserted
in the Natl. Intelligencer after the arrival of the Constitution.
The prints herewith inclosed are forwarded
to you at the request of Thoms Gimbrede, (of N.
York,) the author.
