I enclose Mr. Sandford’s answer respecting a district judge. Van Wyke is certainly very young, not above 25; he is Gen.

15To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 28 May 1805 (Jefferson Papers)
The last paragraph of the enclosed letter seems to confirm the hint that Great Britain had not succeeded in forming any efficient alliance on the Continent. There is an act passed by the legislative Council of Orleans for dividing the Territory into Counties; which, if it has been received either by you or by the Department of State would assist in dividing the two land districts. It will be...

It is necessary, according to usage, that you should add the word “Approved” with your signature to the enclosed requisition from the Dept. of State for certain payments to be charged to the contingent fund.
