Mémoire justificatif du Général Moreau. [

On the title is the autograph signature of Jefferson’s friend, Wm. Lee.
Jean Victor Marie Moreau, 1763-1813, French general, was compelled to justify himself against a charge of treason, and, after the seizure of the conspirators
of the club Moreau, was banished, and lived for some time in Morrisville, New Jersey.
Regarding his entry into the United States, Jefferson wrote from Monticello on August 25, 1805, to Madison: “
I confess that the inclosed letter from General Turreau excites in me both jealousy & offence in undertaking, & without apology,
to say in what manner we are to recieve & treat Moreau within our own country. had Turreau been here longer he would have
known that the national authority pays honors to no foreigner. that the state authorities, municipalities & individuals are
free to render whatever they please, voluntarily, & free from restraint by us; & he ought to know that no part of the criminal
sentence of another country can have any effect here . . .
”
Jefferson expressed an opinion as to Moreau in a letter to William Short, written from Washington on November 15, 1807: “
. . . with respect to Gen
l. Moreau, no one entertains a more cordial esteem for his character than I do: and altho’ our relations with France have rendered
it a duty in me not to seek any public manifestation of it, yet were accident to bring us together, I could not be so much
wanting to my own sentiments & those of my constituents individually, as to omit a cordial manifestation of it . . .
