26511From Thomas Jefferson to Alexander Donald, 11 March 1790 (Jefferson Papers)
Your letters to Mr. Wilson were delivered on my arrival yesterday evening. The vessel sails tomorrow. By her I write to Monsieur Lamotte merchant at Havre and Mr. Coffin merchant at Dunkirk to receive and forward the box of plants. Be so good therefore as to have it addressed to the one or the other of these gentlemen according as a vessel may be first found going to the one or the other of...

26513From Thomas Jefferson to Alexander Donald, 5 March 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
My last to you was of Nov. 11. since which I have received your several favors of Sep. 6. Nov. 7. Dec. 12. and Jan. 5. by all of which I see proofs of your friendly dispositions in your attention to the small-stuff commissions I trouble you with. The bill for £37–10 drawn by Count Andriani in favor of Mr. William B. Giles was to answer for a watch which the latter gentleman desired me to order...
26514From Thomas Jefferson to Alexander Donald, 13 June 1790 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favors of Apr. 25. and May 3. are still to be acknoleged, for an attack of a periodical head-ach has suspended my correspondencies as well as business from the 1st. of May till within a few days; nor am I yet quite clear, as the bark has this time failed to produce a cure.—On the subject of your inquietude with the custom house, you may rest assured you have suffered in nobody’s...
26515From Thomas Jefferson to Andrew Donald, 7 November 1790 (Jefferson Papers)
I recieved at New York your account, but could not do any thing in it till I could come here, and have recourse to my papers. I find the balance of £27–3–9 due, which I have desired Colo. Nichs. Lewis, who takes care of my affairs, to pay you with interest from the 19th. of April 1783. This will be done as soon as money, for which judgments have been already obtained, can be collected. We hope...
26516From Thomas Jefferson to Andrew Donald, 13 March 1791 (Jefferson Papers)
I have recieved your favour of Feb. 15. 1791. Of the many others you say you have written, none have ever come to hand but that of 1790. which finding me at New York, it was impossible for me to answer it till I could return to Virginia where all my papers were. On my return there, I wrote you an answer dated [7 Nov. 1790] and, as you had not informed me where to address the letter to you, I...
26517From Thomas Jefferson to Andrew Donald, 7 October 1791 (Jefferson Papers)
When I left Virginia the last year, I left with Colo. Nicholas Lewis instructions to pay you for Wm. & James Donald & co. £27– 3–9 with interest from Apr. 19. 1791. out of some money due to me on bond and for rents from Robert Lewis and Samuel Woodson, of which they had promised prompt payment. They paid not a shilling which prevented Colo. Lewis from doing as I had desired. I have put my...
26518From George Washington to Arthur Donaldson, 16 October 1785 (Washington Papers)
Your letter of the first inst. did not reach my hands until last night, or I would have replied to it sooner. I am much obliged to you for the Model of your Hippopotamus, and the information which accompanied it,—I have a high expectation of its answering very valuable purposes, if the mud, in the beds of our Rivers, is of that fertilizing nature which the appearance indicate; of which I mean...

26520From Thomas Jefferson to Joseph Donath, 9 October 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
Presuming you are still in the line in which I formerly knew & dealt with you, I take the liberty of applying to you for 250 panes of glass 18. I. by 12 I. and 150 panes 12. I. square, to be very exactly cut to their measures, because in the country those who could trim them are few & awkward & occasion great loss. to be of the same quality you formerly furnished me, that is to say Hamburg or...
