Jefferson sent the Baptists' original letter along with a draft of his reply to Attorney General Levi Lincoln with this request:

They note that Jefferson obviously did intend the letter to be a policy statement, since he ran it by his attorney general, Levi Lincoln, and stated in a cover letter to Lincoln that he had been looking for an opportunity to explain his views on church-state relations.
