Letters to the first British Minister
to the United States. The first, dated
1800 Aug 9, declines the editorship of

and stresses the importance of
the press in modern politics.
The second, dated 1800 Sep 23, sends
a "file of Federal papers" and
mentions the importance of a "History
of the American rebellion."
The third, dated 1800 Oct 7, announces
