1To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Mann Randolph, Jr., 4 May 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
I have found it more convenient to send you a bill for the money you were so kind as to pay for me, than a Hhd. of Tobacco; allmost every Hhd. of mine, having been considerably damaged in their passage down the river, by heavy rains. Yours I am much afraid has allso been injured. I feel myself disposed to continue your debtor rather than make such an ordinary return as my thanks for this...

Your letter containing the seeds of the Acacia came safe to Monticello. Patsy and Miss Jane, who have become quite enthusiastic in gardening and Botany, are much pleased with the charge and promise themselves the satisfaction of presenting you the Shrub reared by their hands, in Septr.

I trouble you with two other letters for the British packet which I beg the favor of you to have included in the first mail for England. We have no news from home to send you but of the Orchard in which the hares have lately done much damage.—While writing I am informed that Gilmer is much better and am pleased that I have it in my power to tell you of his illness and recovery at the same...

I take the liberty to make a request which nothing should induce me to make, were I not convinced that it could not occasion any considerable inconvenience or trouble to you. In consequence of some pecuniary transactions with Mr. Archibald C. Randolph I am applied to for a bill on Philadelphia of forty Dollars and eighty three Cents to discharge a debt of his to Mr. Benjamin S. Barton of that...
6To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Mann Randolph, Jr., 17 February 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
We arrived here yesterday Evening after a tedious and disagreeable journey thro’ the deepest snow within the memory of persons of my age. In the Sixty miles that we have advanced to the Northward the Snow has increased from a small quantity in the shade of hills and buildings to a general cover of ten or twelve Inches: if the progression continues what must it be about philadelphia? The whole...
7To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Mann Randolph, Jr., 1 February 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
We were rendered happy last night by the receipt of a packet containing all your letters and Pollies from the 20th. of November. Since the 28th. of that month on which day we left Monticello they have been accumulating there: they were not sent after us because it was uncertain where we were, and our constant intention of returning in a few days, defeated continually by the kindness of our...
