Jefferson’s copy was sent to him by the author, who wrote from Philadelphia on December 16, 1808: “Permit me to request your acceptance of a Treatise on the means of preserving the Health of soldiers & sailors &c. I would
have presented it personally, when I had the honor of paying my respects to you a few days since, but the work had not then
issued from the press; I wish it were more worthy your perusal.”
Jefferson replied from Washington on December 24: “
Th: Jefferson presents his compliments to D
r. Cutbush and his thanks for the volume on the health of soldiers and seamen which he has been so kind as to send him. he
shall peruse it with pleasure at his first leisure. in the meantime the great utility of the object justly entitles the author
to the thanks of every friend of his country.
”
Edward Cutbush, 1772-1843, U.S.N., was a native of Philadelphia. This is the first book written by a medical officer in the United States
Navy.
