The letter is critical of colonial missionary efforts amongst Native Americans, and quotes Princeton educated George White-eyes "It is natural we should follow the footsteps of our forefathers, and when you white people undertake to direct us from this path, you learn us to eat, drink, dress and write like yourselves; and then you turn us loose to beg, starve, or seek our native forests without alternative: and outlawed your society, we curse you for the feelings you have taught us, and resort to excess that we may forget them."     Sabin, 7848.…

A small archive of two items relating to Dr. William Franklin Bache's efforts to secure a government appointment, consisting of a partially printed document, signed by both Thomas Jefferson as president and James Madison as secretary of state, accomplished in a clerical hand, and dated November 22, 1804, appointing Bache surveyor of the port of Philadelphia and a letter from Catherine Wistar Bache to her brother, Caspar Wistar, dated October 31, [1803], requesting that he write to President Jefferson on her husband's behalf. A Philadelphia physician, William Franklin Bache (17731820) was the grandson of Benjamin Franklin, brother of Benjamin Franklin Bache, and a friend of Thomas Jefferson, who had known Bache since he was a boy. Bache married Catherine Wistar Bache in 1797. That same year, he was elected a member of the American Philosophical Society. (Jefferson was then the society's president and Bache's brother-in-law and fellow Philadelphia physician Caspar Wistar its vice president.) In 1799, following one of a series of yellow fever outbreaks that plagued Philadelphia in the 1790s and which had claimed the life of William's brother Richard, and at the urging of Thomas Jefferson, Bache and his wife moved to Albemarle County, Virginia. After several months' stay at Monticello, in 1800, they moved to a farm that Bache would come to call Franklin in honor of his grandfather. In 1802 and in the face of growing financial difficulties, Bache sought a government appointment. During a stay in Albemarle County in May, Jefferson apparently offered Bache the position of director of the newly established marine hospital at New Orleans. Writing on July 14, 1802, to Bache's brother-in-law, Caspar Wistar, who had previously recommended William Barnwell for the position, Jefferson explained that, after "learning.that Doctr. Bache had determined to remove to the Missisipi, I could have no hesitation to offer the place to him, as eminently qualified for it." Bache arrived in New Orleans the following March. Some seven months later, however, the burden of caring for hundreds of merchant mariners in a foreign port was taking its toll on Bache. In the present letter, dated October 31, Catherine Wistar Bache (18051886) writes to her brother, Caspar Wistar, asking him to intercede with President Jefferson on her husband's behalf, mentioning, in passing, the pending Louisiana Purchase: "Two days ago I received letters from Doct. Bache.in which Doct. B. wishes me to have an application made to the President for him. He thought of my applying to Mrs. Randolph [i.e. Martha Jefferson Randolph, daughter of Thomas Jefferson and the wife of then-Congressman Thomas Mann Randolph, Jr.] but Congress being now engaged on the Louisiana business I think the more immediately an application is made the greater the probability of success and I also believe that an application from a Philadela. friend particularly from Doct. Wistar will have more weight. William wishes to obtain the Land Office or Surveyor Generalship. The Business of the Hospital is extremely laborious without an adequate compensation from excessive fatigue. Doct. B. has again been attack'd with a Bilious fever which confined him to his Bed for a week. He has been in the habit of seeing from 30 to 40 Patients daily and without any assistance even to put up Medicine which renders it too fatiguing for any person to continue it long without a more liberal establishment. His exertions have been attended with great success having lost but 7 out of 400 patients and 6 of those were drunkards.If it is not disagreeable to you to write to the President on the subject it will be conferring on us a very weighty obligation. If you think this request improper don't hesitate to decline it.From a conversation Dr. Bache had with Mr. Gallatin last Winter there is great reason to believe the appointment may be obtained if applyed for before the vacancy is filled" [punctuation added and first words of sentences capitalized for clarity]. Caspar Wistar honored his sister's request, writing apologetically to President Jefferson shortly thereafter: "It has happened to me more than once, to feel great pain & regret while I was writing to you, on account of the trouble I occasioned you, & the liberty I was taking, in soliciting promotion &ca., for the persons in question. I assure you those sensations occur with unusual force on the present occasion, which is thisDr. Bache has nearly concluded his tour [of] attendance on the Missisippi Boat[-men], for this year, & I should suppose with great success, as he has lost but [7] out of 400 Patients he has however been sick twice, & is so much discouraged, by the smallness of the Compensation, & the severity of the duty, that he has requested my Sister to solicit for him the place of Land-Officer, which he supposes to be vacant." Jefferson endorsed Wistar's letter "Bache Wm to be land officer N.O.," but in the end that office did not go to him. According to a December 20 letter from Treasury Secretary Albert Gallatin to Jefferson, Bache had left New Orleans on November 16, and it was unclear whether he would return, given that his request for a salary increase had been denied. Evidence suggests that as early as December 29, Bache was being considered for the position of surveyor and inspector of revenue for the port of Philadelphia as a replacement for Major William Jackson, a Federalist appointed by George Washington. In a letter of that date from Philadelphia businessman and staunch Republican Thomas Leiper to President Jefferson, Leiper writes that he has heard it reported "that Major Jackson is to be removed & that you would put Doctr. Bache in his place if it would give general satisfaction to the Republicans." Citing Bache's family history, Leiper goes on to observe that, if the report is true, "no republican can object to the appointment." Jefferson endorsed Leiper's letter as received January 2, 1804, with the note, "Bache Wm. …
