On April 19, 1793, Jefferson wrote to Greenleaf: “
Being desirous of making a collection of the best gazettes which have been published at the seats of the present general government
I take the liberty of troubling you to make up for me a collection of your’s of the years 1789. and 1790. either unbound or
half-bound . . .
”
Greenleaf replied from New York on May 5: “I have to apologize for not replying earlier to yours of the 19th ultimo--the reason of this delay was, the uncertainty whether
a
file for ’89 & ’90 of the N. Y. Journal, &c. could be completed or not. The file is now complete with the exception of
4 papers, viz. Jan
y 15--Aug
t 20--Dec. 17 of 1789--and Oct. 5 1790. They are now
half binding agreeably to yr Order, & I have directed a strip of white paper bound in the stead of the missing papers, that they may be
pasted in if found hereafter. They will be sent on by the stage on Tuesday or Wednesday.
File Dols. 4-66/100
Binding 1-50/100
----------
6-16”
This was acknowledged by Jefferson on June 28.
