Letter signed Pere Chauvier, general of the Mathurins, Paris, to Thomas Jefferson. Will assist with the recovery of captured Americans in Algiers. (2 pages, in French) (Chauvier was "General et Grand Ministre de l'Ordre de la Sainte Trinite de la Redemption des Captifs." The Order of Saint Trinity for the Redemption of Captives was established in 1198 for the benevolent purpose of redeeming Christians from Mohammedans. The members were called "les Mathurins" because the order was located on rue des Mathurins. The order ceased with the coming of the French Revolution and this act to help Americans captured in Algiers was one of their last efforts) (See Julian Boyd, ed., The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Vol. 14, pp. 401-402), 1788 Dec 30
