- Thomas Jefferson Collection | Letter signed George W. Varnum, Lovingston, to Thomas Jefferson. Public opinion concedes the administration of Adams to have been more frugal than that of Jefferson and Madison. Believing the opposite to be true, Varnum requests the figures for the public debt, foreign and domestic, for 1796-1800, 1804, 1808, and 1810. He also would like to know under what circumstances was Gen. James Wilkinson allowed to draw out more money from the treasury than was allowed him by law. (2 pages), 1811 Apr 7
