2861From Thomas Jefferson to Paul Dudley Sargent, 9 August 1808 (Jefferson Papers)
I recieved yesterday your favor of July 6. & thank you for the information it contained, which shall be used for the public service only, and shall not compromit you. I am sorry to see that a combination of moral & political depravity should be so far found to exist in a portion of our citizens.

2866From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Newton, Jr., 8 September 1791 (Jefferson Papers)
I was in the moment of my departure from Philadelphia for Virginia when I recieved your favor enquiring how far the law of nations is to govern in proceedings respecting foreign Consuls. The law of nations does not of itself extend to Consuls at all. They are not of the diplomatic class of characters to which alone that law extends of right. Convention indeed may give it to them, and sometimes...
