New York, 2 January 1809
". . . The people here are continually sending out their vessels in opposition to the Embargo Law. There is scarcely a night passes without one or two escaping. With respect to our political situation I think it is the most important crisis that we have as yet met with. The claim the Spaniards have made of Louisiana has excited some interest here and likewise the 50,000 men which are to defend it . . ."
