The Correspondence of Thomas Jefferson

PAINE, THOMAS / COMMUNICATIONS FROM
Mr. Jay will, of course, communicate to you some ciphered letters
lately written, and one of this date. My public letter to him contains
all the interesting public details. I enclose with the present, some
extracts of a letter from Mr. Paine, which he desired me to
communicate; your knowledge of the writer will justify my giving you
the trouble of these communications, which their interesting nature
and his respectability, will jointly recommend to notice.
to George Washington, 10 May 1789
