32To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 16 January 1809 (Jefferson Papers)
I do not perceive that any alteration is necessary in the enclosed. But I think that it would be extremely invidious not to extend it to all the Governors. Respectfully Your obedt. Sevt. From a conviction that it was to extend to all, I had so informed all the collectors in my circular of Saturday. DLC : Papers of Thomas Jefferson.

I herewith transmit three copies of the annual account of the contingent fund; one of which is usually kept by yourself, & the others transmitted to the two houses of Congress. Respectfully Your obedt. Servt. DLC : Papers of Thomas Jefferson.
35To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 5 October 1808 (Jefferson Papers)
In the case of the Hampden & Sidney , for which permission had been granted by Govr. Langdon, the affidavits do not appear to me to justify the detention. In the case of the Unanimous there is no affidavit whatever; but only Banks’s information. This however is one of Govr. Sullivan’s permissions for 2000 barrels. I believe flour to be cheaper in Boston than Richmond. The only ground on which...
36To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 28 October 1808 (Jefferson Papers)
This is sent only to shew additional reasons for stationing Gun boats in that district. I will send the papers to Massachts. in order that suit may be instituted for the penalty of the bond given under the coasting act. DLC : Papers of Thomas Jefferson.
37To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 29 April 1806 (Jefferson Papers)
I have the honor to enclose copies of a letter from the President of the Bank of the United States & of certain resolutions of that institution respecting the exportation of American Dollars. I do not perceive that any thing more can be done than to instruct the Director of the Mint to confine himself as much as practicable to the coining of half dollars in preferance to Dollars. I have the...
38To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 29 June 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
I this moment receive yr. letter which Mr. Patton sent after me. I am so much fatigued that I cannot ride all night by the mail; but I will be with you on Wednesday about 2 or 3 o’clock afternoon— With respectful attachment Your obt. Sert. DLC : Papers of Thomas Jefferson.

For information The amount may be exaggerated; but this shews to what extent the British are supplied from the U.S. with masts & ship timber; & how little Canada itself affords of what in British official returns appears as being the exports of that colony. DLC : Papers of Thomas Jefferson.
40To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 9 July 1808 (Jefferson Papers)
Geo. Warfield wants a greater tonnage than has been allowed by the general regulations. One ton is now allowed for 45 dollars of property: he wants one ton for 15 dollars. He has been informed that no alteration would take place, but still insists that his enclosed application should be laid before the President. DLC : Papers of Thomas Jefferson.
41To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 5 October 1808 (Jefferson Papers)
I am clearly of opinion that the issuing of certificates is unnecessary & improper. The monthly consumption by Mr. Lincoln’s computations is 15,000 barrels of flour, or 130,000 a year; which is certainly beyond the truth. Flour is now cheaper at Boston than at New York, Philada. or the Chesapeak. DLC : Papers of Thomas Jefferson.
42To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 3 July 1806 (Jefferson Papers)
I will attend to the enquiry in the case of R. Cross; &, if Gen. Dearborne cannot recommend any body, will request Mr Crowninshield to appoint some person to make it—I will with pleasure dine with you to day— With respectful attachment Your obedt. Servt. DLC : Papers of Thomas Jefferson.

44To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 22 November 1804 (Jefferson Papers)
It does not seem that, under existing laws, any difference can be made between a Haytian and any other foreign vessel. But the directions of the President are respectfully requested in this case— RC ( DLC ); undated; endorsed by TJ as received from the Treasury Department on 22 Nov. and “Haytian vessel” and so recorded in SJL .
45To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 4 April 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
Notwithstanding what was said yesterday respecting Judge Meigs, yet as he is satisfied, & an accumulation of officers is ineligible & will be unpopular, I am glad to have received this morning the enclosed recommendation for Receiver at Detroit. Abbot being a native of the territory is a recommendation; and Hoffman’ opinion is entitled to grea t consideration. Respectfully Your obedt. Ser. DLC...
46To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 15 July 1808 (Jefferson Papers)
I enclose, to be returned, five certificates from Gov. Sullivan received since this morning & not included in the account transmitted, amounting to 6,200 barrels flour & 9,000 bushels corn. Of the flour, one certificate for 5000 barrels may be converted into 10,000 bushels corn. I also enclose a letter announcing the death of the Comr of loans of Georgia & recommending a successor. It is one...

48To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 22 November 1808 (Jefferson Papers)
I enclose sundry letters which will I hope be sufficiently intelligible. Indisposition prevents my writing more at large. I wish to have the Nantucket letter, signed I believe by Coffin, which stated the vessels that might be trusted. You did not return it; and it would assist me in checking special applications. Respectfully Your obedt. Sevt. DLC : Papers of Thomas Jefferson.
49To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 17 November 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
I enclose Palmer’s commissions which were never sent. The mistake was immediately discovered; but as you were then (in March), at Monticello, they were suspended till your return, & afterwards forgotten. Nothing will be necessary but to withdraw your nomination. Respectfully Your obedt. Sevt. DLC : Papers of Thomas Jefferson.

[ Note in unknown hand :] Petersburg Jan. 31. 1808. John Shore Collr.—case of the Ship Felix chartered by John Bell—contravention of embargo by the same &ca. [ Note in Gallatin’s hand :] For information Would it not be well that Mr Madison should enquire how far Mr Aaron Vail Consul at Lorient is concerned in this transaction?

Doctor Barnwell I have never corresponded with him or any other Hospital Physician. He may have written, but no letter of his is in our files. The enclosed contain all the correspondence with the collector in relation to him. No assistant has been allowed in any other case; but the President is fully authorised to fix or encrease the salary or to allow assistants— DLC : Papers of Thomas Jefferson.
55To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 12 March 1808 (Jefferson Papers)
It appears from the enclosed extract of a letter from the collector of Wilmington that we have no Marshal in North Carolina; which stops our business and even prevents serving process on a vessel which had violated the embargo. Respectfully Your obedt. Servt. I enclose the letter itself, which be pleased to return. He has been referred to the district attorney for the proper mode to pursue....
56To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 12 September 1805 (Jefferson Papers)
I enclose at last some observations on the Spanish affairs. The anxiety & occasional absence occasioned by the lingering illness of a child I finally lost had prevented my taking a sufficiently comprehensive view of the subject to commit any thing to writing: and even now I feel that it is very defective. Accept my congratulations on the Tripolan peace, and my wishes that you may terminate as...
57To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 11 October 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
An inquiry was at the time made respecting this complaint by Ludlow; when it appeared that the refusal, complained of, had originated from a false or erroneous entry in the books by J. Ludlow deceased & Register before Kilgore. It is certain that W: Ludlow accompanied his complaint with an application for the Register’s office. DNA : RG 59—LAR—Letters of Application and Recommendation.
58To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 7 November 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
The enclosed is the last letter received from the Surveyor General respecting the two tracts of land to be offered for sale. I think that we might advertise the Jeffersonville district for sale on 1st of April next, & that South of the Connecticut reserve for 1st of May. The proclamation once issued, the officers may be appointed. Respectfully Your obedt. Servt. DLC : Papers of Thomas...
59To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 5 May 1808 (Jefferson Papers)
N. Orleans As several similar applications may be made during the absence of the President some general rule should be adopted. I would submit that in cases which may be recommended by the collectors, particularly regular packets or traders, the permission to sail should be given provided that provisions & lumber make no part of the cargo; reserving the permissions for flour for the...
60To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 19 June 1805 (Jefferson Papers)
