1From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Mann Randolph, 26 December 1794 (Jefferson Papers)
Your chariot was ready to have set off the day after Zachary arrived here; but an unlucky use of the permission you had given me respecting your waggon, has prevented it’s departure. The post after you left us, I received information from Philadelphia that my nailrod had been lodged in Richmond before the last week in November, and could not be forwarded here for want of a conveyance. I...
2From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Mann Randolph, 13 March 1796 (Jefferson Papers)
All are well here: Jefferson particularly so. Almost immediately after the receipt of your order to pay Mr. Divers 120. D. and before I could give him notice, he went to Richmond, and returned only 3 days ago. I saw him yesterday and told him how long I had had your order to pay him that sum, which had been in constant readiness for him, and was still so. He appeared perfectly satisfied. I...
3From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Mann Randolph, 26 February 1795 (Jefferson Papers)
I recieved yesterday your favor of Feb. 20. and am truly concerned and alarmed at the crisis respecting Varina, and the more so as I apprehend the mode of procrastination proposed by you cannot be made use of. It was in a letter I wrote you from Germantown , if you recollect, after I had written to LeRoy, that I mentioned the possibility of a cross bill brought by myself &c. the object of...
4From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Mann Randolph, 14 May 1791 (Jefferson Papers)
I received your favor by Capt. Heath, and notice what is said therein on the subject of the Marquee. Capt. Singleton has been certainly misinformed as to the delivery of it at Monticello. You know it was in the summer of 1782. I was at home the whole of that summer. My situation at that time enables me to say with certainty that I was not from home one day from the time the Marquee was...
5From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Mann Randolph, 6 February 1797 (Jefferson Papers)
All well here and in expectation of seeing you on Sunday next. Dr. Taylor has enjoined my judgments against him for delay. The pretext is that I have refused to execute a deed to him for Elkhill . But I never was so mistaken if I did not by his direction reacknolege the former deed before the clerks of the General court in Richmond on the 4th. of June 1794. or within a very few days after...
6From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Mann Randolph, [7 February 1796] (Jefferson Papers)
Your two favors of Jan. 24. and Feb. 3. are both recieved. We have had a very fine winter a few days only excepted about the middle of January. This day sennight was the coldest morning ever known in this country as far as my observations have gone. The mercury was at 1¾°. I never before saw it lower than 6°. in Virginia.—From what I hear of the state of the three notched road I am sorry I...
7From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Mann Randolph, [8 January 1795] (Jefferson Papers)
My letters of the last post inform me of Mussi’s having sent on my clover seed; so that it is to him I must remit the 51 D.—67 c. balance of Stras’s money, after taking out Mr. Lyle’s and Taylor’s. I must trouble you therefore to try and get a bill on Philadelphia for that sum paiable to Joseph Mussi, merchant Philadelphia, at the corner of 7th. and Market streets, and to inclose it to him....
8From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Mann Randolph, 19 August 1796 (Jefferson Papers)
We are all well, and nothing new in our neighborhood. I have not heard from Edgehill this week. My threshing machine will only get to work this afternoon. Mr. W. Hylton senr. who called here on his way to the springs, tells me he has information in a letter from Sr. George Strickland that 2. steers will get out 120. bushels of wheat a day with it. This is encoraging. You will be astonished to...
9From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Mann Randolph, 5 March 1795 (Jefferson Papers)
We are all well here, except that the children have little colds, which however are going off. As you will be out of the post-road, I shall not write again, which I mention, that my silence may give no uneasiness. We have now fine weather for work. As your clover seed did not sprout, I have advised the leaving it unsowed till you come. I shall not sow mine till the last week in March. I had...
10Memorandum to Thomas Mann Randolph, [ca. 16–24 January 1794] (Jefferson Papers)
The price of wheat and whether it can be sold for the rise of the market? The price of molasses. Whether my things from Philadelphia addressed to Colo. Gamble are arrived? If they are, send them up by Henderson’s people of preference to the other things. Send by them the sugar &c for which I wrote to Colo. Gamble . After the things last expected from Philadelphia I would wish to receive the...
