AN INVITATION TO DINE WITH JEFFERSON AT THE WHITE HOUSE, AFTER CONGRESS RECESSES. It reads: "Th: Jefferson requests the favor of Mr. Morrow to dine with him on Saturday the 24th at half after three or at whatever later hour the house may rise...The favour of an answer is asked." Little is known about the recipient, John Morrow, who served as a Republican member of the House in the Ninth and Tenth Congresses (March 4, 1805-March 3, 1809). Clearly, the printed form was intended for use while Congress was in session, and therefore makes allowance for legislative sessions which might end after the three o'clock recess which was the norm. A rare invitation.
