Sent to Jefferson by the author, who wrote from Philadelphia on March 20, 1795: “I take the opportunity by M
r. Madison to transmit to you a copy of a collection of papers which one of our printers has lately published and of which
I request you will do me the honor to accept. They may assist to shew foreigners, our young people, and those, who have been
out of the way of seeing for themselves, some of the considerable facts which have affected the political and private affairs
of this country since the year 1786--
"You may add to the public Documents that the 4
th year of exports, ending on the 30
th September, 1794, have run up (by the returns now actually received) to a little more than thirty three millions of Dollars--
If this be partly owing to the depreciation of money, it is felt much in the prices of produce and of land, and will therefore
tend to relieve the indebted parts of the United States if they shall be prudent . . .”
Jefferson replied from Monticello on June 1: “
I received a few days ago only your favor of Mar. 20. accompanied by the Collection of your papers lately printed, for which
I cordially thank you. it will enable me to turn with more convenience to pieces which I consult with pleasure & instruction
. . .
