2To Thomas Jefferson from Madame Necker, 22 January 1789 (Jefferson Papers)
J’ai beaucoup hésité, Monsieur, avant de vous envoyer cette lettre: je n’en connais point l’auteur, et il me semble qu’on ne doit pas vous importuner légèrement. Cependant si cette histoire était vraie, si un homme, après de longs services, étant réduit à un si grand degré de misère, il mériterait de l’intérêt, et je me reprocherais de ne lui en avoir pas accordé. Daignez donc, Monsieur,...

5From Thomas Jefferson to John Rutledge, Jr., 22 January 1789 (Jefferson Papers)
In one of my letters to Mr. Short I asked of him to convey me your commands relative to the letters I should receive for you; but not having received them, and presuming you will be some time stationary at Rome, I now send them. I do this the rather, because the greater part of them are from your father, and probably convey you domestic news. The several bills of exchange he had sent me for...

9From Thomas Jefferson to William Short, 22 January 1789 (Jefferson Papers)
My last to you was of the 8th December, since which I have received your favors of Nov. 29. and Dec. 23.
