, Vincennes, I have received your letter of the 17th inst. [?] It was my intention to confide the appointment of a Gazette to print the Laws of the United States entirely to you, and the reasons you assign for the choice of Mr. Bradford's are satisfactory. I have no controul over the sum appropriated for the contingent expenses of your Territory; and therefore cannot prevent the payment of the accounts for stationary out of it, but if neither yourself nor the Secretary of the territory direct supplies of stationary to be furnished your object will be attained provided no outstanding accounts exist to absorb the appropriations.
