141To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 2 February 1805 (Jefferson Papers)
Adam Gantz’s application for pardon On what ground the district judge supposes that no remission could legally be granted by the Secy. of the Treasury in this case, is not understood. As, however he has not certified the facts in the usual way, nor transmitted the papers, the Secretary cannot act. Nor is it probable, if he could, that he would remit the fine after conviction of smuggling by a...
142To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 27 October 1808 (Jefferson Papers)
I presume that this application may now be granted, informing the party that only one vessel will be allowed. Lang the agent who was here informed me that he had no funds, & that the owner of the ship must be paid for the freight & passage in coffee at Port au Prince. If therefore permission be given, it will be expected that they will be permitted to bring back a cargo equal in value to sd....

The enclosed was delivered to me open this evening by Colo. Burr. It encloses an open letter for Mr Madison ; but the whole in fact is designed for you. I had not heard that Mr Lewis the new Marshal had offered to resign.

You gave two years ago to Colo. Worthington the sketch of the Orleans bill with a request that I should, taking its provisions for a basis, draw one consistent with the general arrangements of our complex land laws. This was accordingly done; Mr Worthington introduced the bill in the Senate, where it was amended, passed to a third reading & then postponed. The only copy of the bill wh. I...
145To James Madison from Albert Gallatin, 26 January 1810 (Madison Papers)
Mr Harrison states that the swords purchased by Mr Livingston for the State of Virginia cost 257 dollars & 22/100. In order to close the business, the easiest mode would be that you should write to Govr. Tyler to remit that sum to the Treasurer of the United States on account of Mr Livingston; which paymt. being passed to his credit will balance that item in his accounts. Govr. Tyler may, I...

147To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 29 October 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
I think with you that the cutting out of the Western road, as proposed by Mr Moore, is the most eligible mode, considering the impossibility of making contracts on the spot for completing a part, of applying the appropriation. Will you write to him or shall I do it in yr. name? Respectfully Your obedt. Servt. DLC : Papers of Thomas Jefferson.

149To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 28 May 1808 (Jefferson Papers)
The enclosed letters from Lake Champlain shew that we have not been properly supported by the people & that the love of gain & British agency had rendered the stoppage of intercourse so unpopular that even Sailly & others truly friendly characters were afraid to act. I have of course written to the dist. attorney to institute prosecutions &a.—But although the waters are low & nothing more can...
150To James Madison from Albert Gallatin, [ca. 10 May 1805] (Madison Papers)
It seems evident from the 3d Section of the act, that the three months wages must be paid even in the case mentioned by Mr. Maury; nor could constructive instructions to the contrary be given, without affecting the rights of the seamen, who become entitled to their two months whenever they go or are put on board a vessel bound to the United States. The enclosed form, has been transmitted to...
