1To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 3 August 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
I enclose a letter this day received from St. Th. Mason in relation to South Carolina politics.

This will be handed by Mr M. L. Davies of New York, the candidate for the naval office. I used my endeavours to prevent his proceeding to Monticello; but he had left New York with that intention & is not easily diverted from his purpose.
