Gideon Granger to Thomas Jefferson, 1 March 1810
From Gideon Granger
Washington City March 1st 1810
Dear sir
I have duly received yours of the 24th Jany which has remained unanswered untill this time in consequence of continued and distressing sickness. I have been greviously afflicted with the Rheumatism in my head and bowels and a nervous affection.
A Post office is this day directed to be [. . .]d at George’s Tavern.
Next to the approbation of my own conscience the testimonial you have furnished of my fidelity in Public life furnishes the highest consolation.
Gidn Granger
