Thomas Jefferson

President of the United States

"Yes, the matter of the pamphlet. Before you press me further, know that I would not benefit from attacking the character of a man who helped me reach the presidency.

Look upon this fine map of the Union, a gift from Alexander himself. He gave it to me before my re-election in 1804, mere days before his tragic duel. It serves as proof that Alexander and I harbored no ill will. I shall miss his competitive spirit, even if we didn't always agree on policy.

I do hope you find the perpetrator, if only for Eliza's sake. Oh, before you go! It just occurred to me that if the pamphlet was indeed a fake, the person would need to be an excellent writer."
