To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 4 April 1807

Dear Sir

Saturday [4 Apr 1807]

Notwithstanding what was said yesterday respecting Judge Meigs, yet as he is satisfied, & an accumulation of officers is ineligible & will be unpopular, I am glad to have received this morning the enclosed recommendation for Receiver at Detroit. Abbot being a native of the territory is a recommendation; and Hoffman’ opinion is entitled to grea[t] consideration.

Respectfully Your obedt. Ser.

Albert Gallatin
