Reading edition
Jefferson to Madison, Oct. 15, 1810, Works: Ford, xi, 150-52. Granger was an eager candidate for the place, and had asked Jefferson's support. In assuring him that it was given, Jefferson tells Granger of his "esteem & approbation," and adds that the appointment of "a firm unequivocating republican" is vital. (Jefferson to Granger, Oct. 22, 1810, ib. footnote to 155.)
