ALS, DLC: Jefferson Papers. Jefferson docketed the letter: “recd Dec. 31. 1792.”

1. GW erroneously dated this letter “31st Jan.”

2. For Jefferson’s letter to Thomas Pinckney of 30 Dec., see GW to Jefferson, 30 Dec., n.1. Jefferson included GW’s request for intelligence about British troop movements in a coded letter to Pinckney of 1 Jan. 1793 (see Jefferson Papers, description begins Julian P. Boyd et al., eds. The Papers of Thomas Jefferson. 41 vols. to date. Princeton, N.J., 1950–. description ends 25:6).
