Thomas Jefferson had TWO representatives in Paris to inquire about the purchase of New Orleans. Robert Livingston was sent there in 1801, and James Monroe (the former minister to France, and future US President) in late 1802. Just before Monroe's arrival in France, the French foreign minister proposed the sale of the whole of Louisiana. Livingston thought that the offer should be accepted before Napoleon changed his mind, and he and Monroe signed the treaty on April 30, 1803.
