Colonel Hamilton is ill of it, but is on the recovery.
The Indians have refused to meet our commissioners unless they would
agree to the Ohio as our boundary, by way of preliminary article. This
being impossible, because of the army locations and sales to individuals
beyond the Ohio, the war is to go on, and we may soon expect to hear of
General Wayne's being in motion.
The President set out yesterday for Mount Vernon, according to
an arrangement of some time ago. General Knox is setting out for
Massachusetts, and I am thinking to go to Virginia in some days. When
and where we shall re-assemble, will depend on the course of this
malady.
I have the honor to be, with great and sincere esteem and respect, Dear
Sir, your affectionate friend and servant,
Th: Jefferson.
LETTER CLXXI.--TO MR. GENET, October 3, 1793
TO MR. GENET.
Monticello, October 3, 1793.
Sir,
In a former letter which I had the honor of writing you, I mentioned
that information had been received that M. Duplaine, Vice-Consul of
France, at Boston, had been charged with an opposition to the laws of
the land, of such a character, as, if true, would render it the duty
of the President immediately to revoke the Exequatur, whereby he is
permitted to exercise the functions of Vice-Consul in these United
States.
