Letter, 1808 July 20, Washington, [D.C.] to [William] Short, Phila[delphia, Pennsylvania].
| Author: | Jefferson, Thomas, 1743-1826 |
|---|---|
| Abstract: | Explains that Short will not need to come to Washington, D.C. because James Madison will be leaving shortly; agrees with Short that he should call his secretary his messenger and pretend to be on a trip as a "private man" for the mission; Meriwether Lewis would make a good secretary but cannot go on the mission because he is needed in the United States and because "he is a Virginian"; the salary is the same; this may be a permanent post for Short and it may not. |
