letter from president thomas jefferson to governor hull.4.
enterprise active and distant service is most congenial. In using therefore your best exertions towards accomplishing the object of this act, you will render to your constituents as well as to the Nation, a most acceptable service.
With respect to the organizing and officering those shall be engaged within your state, the act itself will be your guide. And as it is desirable that we should be kept informed of the progress in this Business, I must pray you to report the same from time to time to the Sect'y of War who shall correspond with you on all the details arising out of it.
I salute you with great consideration and respect.
Sign'd Thomas Jefferson.
