Third-person ANS as president, one page, 6.5 x 6.5, June 17, 1802. Note to John Hawk reads, in full: “Th: J incloses the within to Mr. Barnes because the captain will probably apply to him on his arrival. A box for me is gone to Philadelphia. How shall I get the freight paid there?” Light intersecting folds, some show-through from docketing on reverse, and red seal remnant to lower right, otherwise fine condition. Barnes was a longtime friend of Jefferson’s after moving to Washington and holding several governmant posts. In 1806, Jefferson would appoint Barnes collector of customs at the port of Georgetown, serving in the post for almost 20 years. At this point in his presidency, Jefferson was immersed in the Barbary Wars, having in effect declared war on the nations in February of 102. On the date Jefferson sent this note, Morocco declared war on the United States, but quickly negotiated a peace settlement in August. A fantastic presidential note with a bold and unmistakable “Th: J,” leading it off.
