Permitt me to call to your recollection, that about three years past, you obliged me exceedingly by a letter you wrote to the Havanna, upon the subject of a very large sum of money attached there, my own property; Your letter I have good reason to believe had at the time its due effect, & about 12 or 14 months thereafter a Judgement was obtained to my satisfaction, but my opponents (the...

7From Thomas Jefferson to John Hollins, 14 June 1808 (Jefferson Papers)
Do you forget promises, or do I recollect what never happened?

10To Thomas Jefferson from John Hollins, 21 June 1808 (Jefferson Papers)
Your esteemed respects of the 10th: I have just received; when I conversed with you on the subject of the wine, it was under an impression in my own mind, that my commercial house had imported some for sale, at the time I received some from Leghorn, but found myself mistaken— The box is actually gone, & I expect is now on its passage, as is also a bag of Bourbon coffee, particulars as at foot;...
