H Jefferson has the honor to submit to the correction & approbation of the Secretaries of the Treasury & War, the inclosed draughts of letters to the French minister on the subject of the ships William & Others in her situation, & to Mr. Hammond & Mr. Pinckney on the subject of the Snow Suckey.
The letters to Mr. Hammond & Mr. Pinckney appear to me proper, according
June. 25. 1793. to the facts [undecipherable: stated?] in them.
The object of that to Mr. Genet also appears to me [undecipherable: desireable?] but I am not wholly without [undecipherable] as to the [undecipherable: propriety of] [undecipherable: propositions?] going from the U States.
