Despite Tobias Lear’s endorsement, TJ almost certainly wrote this and the following memorandum on 11 July 1793—the date of the first document listed here—when he submitted the papers enclosed in them to the President, who had just returned from Mount Vernon. After reading the documents covered by this first memorandum, Washington ordered the Cabinet to consult with him the following day (Washington, Journal description begins Dorothy Twohig, ed., The Journal of the Proceedings of the President, 1793–1797, Charlottesville, 1981 description ends , 190–1).
