Three letters, addressed to the people of the United States which have lately appeared under the signature of by Charles Pinckney
... I was both pleased and edified by the piece on Robbins's case. It ought to be a very serious case to the judge. I think no one circumstance since the establishment of our government has affected the popular mind more. I learn that in Pennsylvania it had a great effect. I have no doubt the piece you inclosed will run through all the republican papers, and carry the question home to every man's mind ... (TJ to Pinckney, 29 October 1799)
