Having communicated the inclosed letter from Genl. T. to the President, he concurred in the propriety of asking from you the information on which an answer, ought to be founded.

583From James Madison to Albert Gallatin, 28 November 1801 (Madison Papers)
I have had the honor to receive your letter of the 20th. current respecting Mr. Fenwick’s accounts. As none of his claims were incurred subsequently to the 1st. of September 1800, it follows that if the authority given to the Secretary of State, under the President’s direction, to admit such claims should be considered to be more limited after that day, the principles of liquidating his...

585From Thomas Jefferson to Albert Gallatin, 15 April 1804 (Jefferson Papers)
According to the letter of mr Wagner inclosed in your’s of the 7th. inst. on the subject of the misnomer of the Inspector for Indian town. a commission should have been inclosed, but none came. neither of those letters mention either the real or mistaken name, nor does my memory help me to either, & I have no papers here which can recall the case to my mind. I can only observe generally...

I have had the honor of receiving your Letter of the 5th: inst. with its enclosure of the 2nd. ultimo. —It gives me particular pleasure to learn that measures have been taken to relieve the distresses of our seamen in New-Orleans; but the provision is by no means adequate to the end, & the sum appropriated would for many years to come be absorbed in the Erection of a Building fit to receive...
587From Thomas Jefferson to Albert Gallatin, 28 August 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favors of the 18th. & 24th. came by yesterday’s post. I am sorry mr Clay declines a Consulship. it would have been very pleasing to us to replace our Minister at Lisbon by such a Consul as Clay. perhaps reconsideration and enquiry into the advantages of the situation may reconcile it to him. I have not here my bundle of claims for office, & therefore cannot propose a successor for Colo....
588From Thomas Jefferson to Albert Gallatin, 14 August 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favors of the 8th. & 10th. came to hand yesterday. with respect to Hopkins’s case, which is the subject of the former, my opinion is generally that when a case is exactly that which the law meant to punish, it is one for which the power of pardon was not intended. but when a case is not that which the law meant to make criminal, & yet happens to be within it’s letter, there is proper...
589From Thomas Jefferson to Albert Gallatin, 1 April 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
I have read and considered your report on the operations of the Sinking fund and entirely approve of it, as the best plan on which we can set out. I think it an object of great importance, to be kept in view, and to be undertaken at a fit season, to simplify our system of finance, and bring it within the comprehension of every member of Congress. Hamilton set out on a different plan. in order...
