Monticello, May s, 1914. Dear Sir:
General Kosciuszko, whose Revolution
ary services and general devotion to the
canse of liberty have rendered him dear
70 his country, made deposit Of all his
funds in the moneyed institutions of the
country, placing them under my general
Buperintendence, which is exercised
through Mr.. Barnes, who will have the
honor Of handing you this letter, and
whom take occasion to make known to
you for his great worth. have instructed
him to dispose Of the Generals bank
stock and to invest it in the new loan of
the United States, but the immediate OBJ
iect of the latter is to observe that dur
ing the war we have found it impraCtj-
cable TO remit to the General his annual
interest, in consequence of which his
letters inform me of his great distress in
Paris, which l know must be great in
deed. have supposed it possible that
he might perhaps be availed of some of
the money transactions OF your Depart
ment, 30 as to receive his remittances
through them. Any facility you may be
80 kind as to offer Mr.. Barnes for this
purpose, besides being received as a per.
sonal favor to myself, will extend much
needed relief to one of our great Revo-
olutionary worthless.
II avail myself of this first occasion of
Congratulating you on the accession tothe
honorable and important Office you oc.
cupy 1t is always a qualification to me
to see the public affairs con6ded to those
whom 1 know to come into them with
Bingleness of views to the public good.
Accent the assurances of my great re.
spect and esteem T H. JEFFERSON.

late war has indeed terminated most
honorably, for which we are most in

time for laying the foundation of a finan-

II hope Congress will avail themselves
