2151Thomas Jefferson to Archibald Thweatt, 23 May 1810 (Jefferson Papers)
Yours of the 18 th was recieved on the 21 st . I am happy to learn that our settlement goes on so harmoniously. but it could not well be otherwise; as I suppose the Commissioner can never have been presented with fairer papers, or fuller in a case of so long standing. there can be no objection to the transfer of debets from Fleming’s to Skelton’s account, where the article is properly...

2153To James Madison from Samuel Smith, [24 May] 1810 (Madison Papers)
… The situation of our country is indeed very critical, but I cannot yet believe that Denmark will be coerced to receive french troops in Holstein. Sweden has the most friendly disposition towards us—indeed I would suppose American property to be perfectly safe in her Ports.… Printed extract (Robert C. Black Catalogue No. 104 [1965], item 133). Also mentioned as a one-page letter in the lists...

2155Thomas Jefferson to Joseph Dougherty, 24 May 1810 (Jefferson Papers)
I have duly recieved your two letters of the 5 th & 14 th and am thankful for your aid in the safe delivery of our Merinos. the President , on their arrival, had notified me of it and that he would recieve & forward mine to Orange with his own. from thence I can get them here in a day. as soon as I heard of their arrival, I made up my mind, instead of recieving thousands of Dollars a piece for...
2156John Graham to Thomas Jefferson, 24 May 1810 (Jefferson Papers)
I fear you will be greatly surprised when you hear that the Letter which you sent to me, some months since for General Kosciuzko , is yet in my possession. you stated it to be confidential, and directed it to be sent with our Despatches. Since it came to my hands, no Despatch vessel has been sent to France , nor have we had for our communications to General armstrong , any conveyance which...
2157Aaron Hill to Thomas Jefferson, 24 May 1810 (Jefferson Papers)
I have taken the liberty to send you a political sermon entitled “A Discourse delivered at Cambridge April 8. 1810 in the hearing of the University by David Osgood D,D, Pastor of the Church in Medford . ” This discourse which is composed chiefly of newspaper calumnies, & which substitutes federal prints for the gospel both Bible as rule of faith & practice, appears from its title page to have...
2158Thomas Jefferson to William Thornton, 24 May 1810 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favors of May 7. & 10. are both recieved, and with them came the figs in perfect condition. on my proceeding to plant them in the same places where I had planted those you were so kind as to send me the last year, & reopening the holes, to my great astonishment I found a young bud putting out from the root of every one. they had been long on the road, were planted late, & this succeeded...
2159William Wirt to Thomas Jefferson, 24 May 1810 (Jefferson Papers)
I have just recieved your favor of the 19 th and will, with very great pleasure, attend to its request and instructions. M r Wickham had previously made known your desire both to M r Hay and myself: he cannot join us in the defence although he is still unresolved to take the plaintiff’s case. You conjecture rightly as to the cause of action—it is Livingston’s expulsion from the batture by an...
2160From James Madison to Thomas Jefferson, 25 May 1810 (Madison Papers)
I have duly recd. your favor of the 13th. The general idea of disposing of the supernumerary Merino Rams for the public benefit had occurred to me. The mode you propose for the purpose seems well calculated for it. But as it will be most proper as you suggest, to let our views, be developed to the public, by the execution of them, there will be time for further consideration. When the Sheep...
