The first letter mentions the renomination of John Jay for chief justice. It is undated, but was written between October 1800, when Jay's successor Oliver Ellsworth sumbitted his resignation, and 20 January 1801, when John Marshall was nominated after Jay's refusal. The second letter, 15 December 1800, reports Zephaniah Swift's opinion of the situation in France: Napoleon aims to establish a monarchy and the people are ready to accept it. The third, 12 February 1801, reports from the floor of the House of Representatives during the balloting to break the electoral tie between Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr.
