Thomas Jefferson to Unknown, June 30, 1771

Albemarle June 30. 1771.

Sir

Among the Treasurer ’s causes which I have undertaken to finish is a suit brought against you by Martar . As I am an utter stranger to the nature of the demand of the plaintiff, and of your defence I must trouble you to give me timely notice of both. If you would chuse subpoenas to summon any evidences be pleased to write a line to Mr. James Steptoe my agent at the Secretary’s office who will take care to forward them to you. A letter directed to me and sent to the care of the same gentleman or of Mr. Neill Campbell merchant Richmond will probably get safe to Sir Your humble servt.,

Th: Jefferson
