Letter of Thomas Jefferson, secretary of state, to the Gentlemen of the Senate. Regarding extension of the negotiations at Madrid and ratification of any treaty the commissioners may enter into. (1 page, press copy) (The date of this document, which begins "Gentlemen of the Senate," was determined by examining correspondence and documents published in Charles T. Cullen, ed.,The Papers of Thomas Jefferson. In a letter to George Washington dated 1791 December 23, Jefferson transmitted a table that is identical to the one attached to this document. In a footnote on page 84 [Cullen, Vol. 23] the Senate approval of the nomination of William Carmichael and William Short as commissioners to Spain was given as 24 January 1792. Since the document states that the commissioners were "lately" appointed, it has been determined that it must have been written early in 1792. Whether or not the attached table was done at the same time or is simply a letterpress copy from the one sent to Washington in 1791 is difficult to ascertain.) Document signed Thomas Jefferson. Report on commerce accompanying above letter entitled "Footing of the Commerce of the U.S. with France & England & with the French & English American colonies." (3 pages, press copy) (This folder includes 5 pages on dating the documents), [1792]
