1To Thomas Jefferson from James Thomson Callender, 9 January 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
I hope you will pardon my having sent you revises, instead of clean Sheets of the thing now printing; a freedom inexcusable in any circumstances but mine. I Cannot get my printer to work, although I am actually paying him ready money , as he goes on. So that the whole Sale of the Season will be lost, by the delay of revising the Sheets ! I mention this, Sir, that You may not think me addicted...
2To Thomas Jefferson from James Thomson Callender, 15 February 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
I did not, untill this day, know that Your Examiner has not been forwarded to Philadelphia. It Shall be done in future. The Prospect goes off very well to many parts of the Country. About 500 are sent off and many more bespoke, but not yet Sent. A parcel will come to Philadelphia, as soon as the River Opens. Chancellor Wythe is the law officer referred to in the inclosed, as Speaking of The...
3To Thomas Jefferson from James Thomson Callender, 11 October 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
For some time past, I have regularly sent you, as far as they were printed, the Sheets of the 2d volume of The Prospect , because I flattered myself that, although neither the Stile nor matter could be exactly conformable to your ideas, or taste, yet that upon the whole, they would not be disagreeable. Whether I was right or wrong, or whether indeed You received my letters, I do not know....
4To Alexander Hamilton from James Thomson Callender, [10 July 1797] (Hamilton Papers)
I have seen your letter of the 6th inst. in Mr. Fenno’s Gazette. An answer seems requisite. It shall be as concise as possible. With regard to the anecdote of the Minerva, you affirm it to be Wholly False . Information, which I sincerely credit, states it as being strictly true. There the story may rest. As for what you say of the papers signed by Messrs. Muhlenberg, Venable, and Munroe, I...
5To Thomas Jefferson from James Thomson Callender, 26 October 1798 (Jefferson Papers)
I am Sensible that this freedom needs an [appology]. I wrote You a letter In last month and if nothing can be done, or ought to be done, in one quarter, it is time that I Should be making application, in another, if I can say that I can have another; for I have not only motives of one kind, but others quite different, for not wishing to revisit that sink of destruction Philadelphia; for whose...
6To Thomas Jefferson from James Thomson Callender, 10 March 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
I now inclose for you a number of the Republican , along with the last number of the Examiner, Containing a Copy of the Letter from You. Some errata ! The Second Part of The Prospect will be continued in the Republican , and reprinted at Staunton , and all, or part of it, in the national Magazine. I had once entertained the romantic hope of being able to overtake the federal Government, in its...
7To Thomas Jefferson from James Thomson Callender, 14 August 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
This letter will inclose a few pages of the second part of The Prospect. They contain nothing but what I fancy that You have seen already, as I sent You regularly the Petersburg paper , wherein they were printed. But next week, I Shall send some Sheets, that You have not seen before. A half volume will be ready, price half a dollar, in about a fortnight. I have by me as much manuscript as...
8To Thomas Jefferson from James Thomson Callender, 21 April 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
I inclose two newspapers. I mean to go to Petersburg in 8 or 10 days to begin printing Part 2d of Prospect. We shall have a long article in The Republican on Thursday next. I hope you will excuse this freedom, and I am Sir Your humble sevt P.S. I thought it but justice to send Mr. Adams, under a blank cover, a copy of my address to the Public RC ( DLC ); endorsed by TJ as received 26 Apr. but...
9To Thomas Jefferson from James Thomson Callender, 19 November 1798 (Jefferson Papers)
I never write a letter, when I can avoid it. I much less desire to trouble my Superiors. But I received, some days ago, your favour of October 11th. The nature of its contents supersedes the necessity of Saying that it was welcome. I have only to add that some parts of it seem to need an explanation on my part of what brought me here. When You are quite at leisure, what follows will explain...
10To Thomas Jefferson from James Thomson Callender, 14 March 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
I hope You will excuse the freedom I took last week of Sending you some Examiners, and a number of the Republican. I now inclose a Continuation. Some errata! This is to be printed again in Staunton , and perhaps in the national magazine and the friend of the people , which will soon go on again, having been only interrupted by that Idle thing the press. And so I am firing through five port...
