2From Thomas Jefferson to Albert Gallatin, 22 February 1809 (Jefferson Papers)
Have you obtained the name & character of the son of Made. Bonneville? I believe there remains a single vacancy of a Cadet. it seems extremely difficult to say what had best be done as to militia at N. London. I am assured that if I designate a militia officer there, the legislature now meeting, will immediately remove him. perhaps the proper way to ensure an effectual enforcement would be...

6From Thomas Jefferson to Albert Gallatin, 30 January 1809 (Jefferson Papers)

What do you think of Gelston’s proposition to consider all shipments from the town of Jersey as suspicious, for a while? If the French privateer La Fortune should be found to have the money on board, she will be detained &...

The removal of Williams is approved. has not Gelston been deficient in not giving notice of transactions under his eye, altho’ not within his district? I send you a projet of T. Coxe.

9From Thomas Jefferson to Albert Gallatin, 9 January 1809 (Jefferson Papers)
I do not recollect the instructions to Govr. Lewis respecting squatters. but if he had any they were unquestionably to prohibit them rigorously. I have no doubt, if he had not written instructions, that he was verbally so instructed. Carr’s story has very much the air of an idle rumor, willingly listened to. it shews some germ of discontent existing. I think Cochran should immediately dismiss...
