he now is. He knows, too, of certain meetings of Burr, Bollman, Yrujo,
and one other whom we have never named yet, but have him not the less in
our view.

I salute you with friendship and respect.

Th: Jefferson.


P. S. Will you send us half a dozen blank subpoenas?

Since writing the within I have had a conversation with Latrobe. He says
it was five hundred men he was desired to engage. The pretexts were to
work on the Ohio canal, and be paid in Washita lands. Your witnesses
will some of them prove that Burr had no interest in the Ohio canal, and
that consequently this was a mere pretext to cover the real object from
the men themselves, and all others. Latrobe will set out in the stage of
to-morrow evening, and be with you Monday evening. T. J.
