Humphreys to be minister resident for the United States at the court of
her Majesty. This gentleman has long been of the President's own family,
and enjoys his particular confidence. I make no doubt he will so conduct
himself, as to give perfect satisfaction to her Majesty and yourself,
and I therefore recommend him to your friendly attention and respect.
Mr. Freire will have every title to the same from us, and will assuredly
receive it. It is always with pleasure, that I repeat the homage of
those sentiments of respect and esteem with which I have the honor to be
your Excellency's most obedient and most humble servant,

Th: Jefferson.
