11From Thomas Jefferson to J. P. P. Derieux, 25 October 1791 (Jefferson Papers)
I have the pleasure to inclose you a letter which I found on my arrival here. I find one also of July 8. from Mr. Fenwick our Consul at Bordeaux in which is the following passage. ‘Mr. Le Roy has been absent all this summer from Bordeaux. He is now in Paris and expected to return in course of a month or two. Immediately on his arrival I will wait on him in person with the letter you covered...
12From Thomas Jefferson to J. P. P. Derieux, 6 January 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of Nov. 15. was a month in getting to me. Since my reciept of it, I have taken such opportunities as my business and acquaintance here would allow me, to try whether I could obtain money for you, on the ground explained in your letter, either from the bank, or any other persons. The bank gives money in exchange only for merchants’ notes: and on application to merchants I find that...
13From Thomas Jefferson to J. P. P. Derieux, 10 March 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
I received yesterday your favor of the 1st. inst. I am unable to give you any explanation relative to your bill, as I have not had a word from Mr. Fenwick but those I copied in my letter to you. I think you would do well to write to him for an explanation as the matter seems to require it, and you will the sooner be placed on a certainty. I have not lately heard what progress is made in the...
14From Thomas Jefferson to J. P. P. Derieux, 2 November 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
I received yesterday your favor of Oct. 22. and I have by the present post inclosed to Colo. Gamble Mr. Vaughan’s order on John Hopkins for 250. dollars payable to Colo. Gamble for your account. This is an advance of Mr. Vaughan’s, as the sales of your effects hitherto have been absorbed by the payment of duties, freight and other charges. I shall not fail to have the remittances made to you...
15From Thomas Jefferson to J. P. P. Derieux, 8 December 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
I have not been inattentive to your matter since my return. I sent your letter to Mr. Vaughan, and I wrote one to Mr. Homassel. The merchants were at that time much dispersed. I inclose you Mr. Homassel’s answer . All are now returned to the city, and I hope these two gentlemen will settle and liquidate your affair. They shall not want my sollicitations to do it. My respects to Mrs. Derieux...

Th: Jefferson with his compliments to Mr. Derieux sends him a letter from Mde. Bellanger. The duplicate (which came with it) shall come by next week’s post, as also he believes assuredly Mr. Vaughan’s account and balance, which he has promised for next post. PrC ( DLC ).

17From Thomas Jefferson to J. P. P. Derieux, 12 March 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
I received your favor of Feb. 14. long after it’s date, and hope that by the present regulation of your post you will get this answer quicker. The loss upon your legacy, on account of the depreciation of Assignats will be very great, and therefore I should think it unadviseable to draw at this moment for more than your necessities require. This place is so perfecly mercantile, and regular...
18From Thomas Jefferson to J. P. P. Derieux, 22 November 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
I have engaged Mr. Vaughan to make an advance of a second sum of 250. dollars, an order for which on Mr. Hopkins I inclose to Colo. Gamble by this post. This makes up the sum which your note to me expressed as necessary for your present accomodation. For the residue you will have to wait not only till these sums are replaced, but till the sales beyond that shall be effected. The assortment was...
19From Thomas Jefferson to J. P. P. Derieux, 20 January 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
I recieved yesterday your favor of the 9th. Mine of the 4th. would reach you about five days after the date of yours, and consequently would shew you that your bill in Mr. Fenwick’s hands having been paid, all your funds transmitted by me through Colo. Gamble are free from that incumbrance. There remains nothing further to be done therefore than to wait till the sales here are closed, and...
