Thomas Jefferson responds to David Rittenhouse's April 10 inquiry about planning Michaux's expedition and desires that the Philosophical Society meet.
|
Philadlephia Apr. 11. 1793
I received yesterday your note on the subject of Michaud's instructions, and think it would be better to have a meeting of the society that they may accept the charge proposed to them by the subscribers, and may appoint a committee to draw instructions, and a person to collect the fourth of the subscriptions & pay it ot Mr. Michaud. my attendance on the society will be precarious, as it must depend on the weather: but I hope you will attend & have the thing done right.
