3From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Barclay, 26 September 1785 (Jefferson Papers)
Colo. Franks has occasion for money to carry him to London. As we propose that all the money for this business shall be procured by draughts on Mr. Adams, will it not be better for you to draw on him at present for enough to cover the last journey of Colo. Franks, to defray the present one, to pay for the articles to be purchased here, the expences of the future journey Southwardly &c.? All...
4From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Barclay, 5 May 1787 (Jefferson Papers)
After the letter I did myself the honour of writing you to assure you that I would reimburse you the necessary expences for sending young Mercier to his own country, I took occasion in my first to the Governor of Virginia to mention your attention to him, and my undertaking, and to pray that he would endeavor to find out his family. I now receive a letter from the present governor , Mr....
5From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Barclay, 27 December 1786 (Jefferson Papers)
Colo. Franks arrived some days ago with the Marocco treaty, and with your dispatches. I am persuaded they will give great satisfaction to Congress, and do you honor in their eyes. Colo. Franks waits for his baggage which he hourly expects. He will then proceed to London and from thence to New York. He carries duplicate ratifications of the treaty from me, which being also signed by Mr. Adams,...
6From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Barclay, 19 June 1787 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of the 12th. came to hand two days ago. Your adversary had been busy here in endeavoring to have your privilege examined and withdrawn. They had, as I think, interested Mr. Eden, the British minister, and thro’ that or some other channel conveied a story to the ear of some of the ministers, very unfavorable to you. They had particularly represented some circumstance attending the...
7From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Barclay, 4 July 1787 (Jefferson Papers)
I wrote you a fortnight ago an account of what had passed on your subject that day. Yesterday I had a long conference with M. de [ Rayneval ]. It is impossible for a person to be more cordially disposed than M. de Montmorin but opposition from another quarter of the [ sea ] and the difficulty of the case [ trouble ] him. [ Rayneval ] observed to me that there was no country in Europe but...
8From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Barclay, 22 September 1786 (Jefferson Papers)
I was honored a few days ago with the reciept of your letter of Aug. 11th. In my last to you I informed you that I had proposed to Mr. Adams to avail ourselves of your service at Algiers. I acknowlege that I had no expectation that with our small means you could effect a treaty there; but I thought that their ultimatum might be discovered and other intelligence obtained which might repay us...
9From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Barclay, 3 August 1787 (Jefferson Papers)
As you have acted, since my arrival in France, in the characters of Consul general for that country, and minister to the court of Marocco, and also as agent in some particular transactions for the state of Virginia, I think it a duty to yourself, to truth, and to justice, on your departure for America, to declare that in all these characters, as far as has come within my notice, you have acted...
10From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Barclay, 17 September 1787 (Jefferson Papers)
I have duly received your favor of July 30. covering Mr. Huntington’s papers on the subject of the claim for depreciation on money advanced by him for some French prisoners. That the claim is substantially just is certain, but at the same time it is one which I cannot urge. You know it is established in practice with us not to give an account once settled and discharged, merely on a claim of...
