1From Thomas Jefferson to Charles Pinckney, 29 October 1799 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of Sep. 12 . came to hand on the 3d. inst. I have delayed acknoledging it in hopes of recieving the longer one you mentioned to have written. but that has not yet reached me. 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...
2To Thomas Jefferson from Charles Pinckney, 12 October 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
I have written you very often lately but have never yet had the pleasure of a line from you or known whether you have received my Letters—indeed from the manner in which a Letter from Mr. Nicholas came to me after being opened, I have every reason to beleive very few if any of my friends Letters reach me, or those I write, the Gentlemen to whom they are Addressed—I wish to know how things will...
3From Thomas Jefferson to Charles Pinckney, 4 November 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
I recieved last night your favor of Oct. 22. and we are so near seeing one another at Washington that I should not have troubled you with an answer (which indeed I have little hope of your recieving at Charleston) but that you mention having written to me frequently, & forwarded all the numbers of the [Republican & ] other papers, your speeches &c. I assure you that the letter recieved last...
4To Thomas Jefferson from Charles Pinckney, 22 November 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
I have just recieved your favour after an interval since its date of nearly one Month—I am to particularly regret Your not recieving my communications, as I wanted some facts from you to aid me in the very delicate & arduous struggle I have in this state—finding from my intelligence that the Pennsylvania Senate intended to contend for a concurrent vote in the choice of Electors & thus to...
5To Thomas Jefferson from Charles Pinckney, [3] December 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
I wrote you yesterday a short Letter of sincere congratulation on our success in the Election & as it will be some time before I can be at Washington I wish to detail to you the reasons that will inevitably detain me.—When I was two Years since a candidate for the Senate I pledged myself to the republican Interest of this State to use every Exertion in my power to make a peace with France &...
6To Thomas Jefferson from Charles Pinckney, 6 December 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
I wrote you some days since by the Express which carried our Votes & informed You of the necessity there was for my remaining sometime longer here to use my Exertions & those of my friends to fix the republican interest out of the reach of any future federal attack—that the Exertions of the Federalists had been so uncommonly great in the late Election, as to give serious apprehensions to our...
7To Thomas Jefferson from Charles Pinckney, 20 December 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
Having finished the public Business I went to Columbia as I was returning to Charleston to take shipping for Washington & at this place met with a paper which is inclosed & which has surprised me exceedingly—is it possible that the State of Pennsylvania has been deprived of her Vote by a majority of two in the senate? Or, taking the whole number of the federal part of their senate together, by...
8To Thomas Jefferson from Charles Pinckney, 8 January 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
I wrote you some weeks since informing you that after the finishing some indispensable public Business important to the continuance & increase of the republican interest in this state I should go to Charleston & proceed from thence by Water either to Baltimore or to Washington as passages offered—Since this I am concerned to inform You that in my way down from Columbia stopping at this place I...
9To Thomas Jefferson from Charles Pinckney, 24 January 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
Although not sufficiently recovered from the effects of my late fall from my carriage to venture it I propose embarking on Sunday to join you at Washington having taken my passage for that purpose & as I cannot travel by land, again venture a Winter Voyage by sea—I write this Line to inform you of it & to mention that having seen in the Northern papers an account that a compromise was offered...
10To Thomas Jefferson from Charles Pinckney, [9 February 1801] (Jefferson Papers)
I am this moment arrived in New York on my way to the seat of Government, it Being the only Port to which I could procure a passage at this rough Season & my arm is too lame from the accident to it to travel by land, unless very slow & with care.—I was anxious to have been with You by the 11th. & set out for that purpose but a long passage & contrary winds prevented—it now snows very much &...
