{"value"=>"To Mrs. Elizabeth Page. Regrets that he can give her no information, as requested in her letter of Nov. 27, respecting the sacrifices of property to the relief of his country made by her father, Thomas Nelson, while in office during the revolution; Jefferson retired in May, 1781, before the continental currency had become so greatly depreciated; General Nelson succeeded him; the rapid depreciation of the currency and the expenses attendant upon the siege of Yorktown probably led Nelson to assume responsibilities for which the public credit was insufficient; Jefferson was at home at the time and was soon after sent to Congress and thence to Europe."}
