21To Thomas Jefferson from John Wayles Eppes, 14 April 1803 (Jefferson Papers)
I arrived at Monticello the day after you set out for Washington. Had I supposed you would have delayed your journey I should certainly have returned earlier— Mr. Hancocke promised to forward your shrub & if you have not already heard from him you may calculate on hearing in a few days— I attended the Albemarle election the result of which you have heard—Cabbell is extremely irritated at the...

By a letter from Mr Randolph we hear that you will probably leave Washington on Thursday—In case any accident should detain you it may be acceptable to hear that Maria is not worse—I am sorry I cannot say she is better— Accept for your health our best wishes Yours sincerely RC ( ViU : Edgehill-Randolph Papers); endorsed by TJ as received 30 Mch. and so recorded in SJL .
23To Thomas Jefferson from John Wayles Eppes, 9 August 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
When I wrote to you last I had not received your letter on the subject of the horse—I have since got your last of the 12th. of July. I have not as yet been able to procure a horse of the description you want. The demand in Richmond and Petersburg for fine horses for the cavalry about the time I received your letter rendered it impossible to procure one at either of those places. I know at...
24To Thomas Jefferson from John Wayles Eppes, 9 March 1804 (Jefferson Papers)
I found Maria on my arrival here free from fever and sitting up—She has no complaint at present but weakness—Her appetite is improving daily and I have no fear but that in a short time she will be restored to health—Her child is well also from the kindness of Patsy who has nursed it with her own—Maria during her illness has lost her milk entirely, and although she expects its return I fear we...
25To Thomas Jefferson from John Wayles Eppes, 16 September 1804 (Jefferson Papers)
Our trip has been delayed so far beyond my expectations that I am induced again to write fearing you may feel some uneasiness—We have at length fixed on Friday next for setting out, but as my mother has determined to call on Mr. Baker who has been very much injured by a fall from his chair & is still confined, it will probably be tuesday before we reach Monticello— My children continue in...
26To Thomas Jefferson from John Wayles Eppes, 11 May 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
Your last letters the one to Maria by the way of Colesville & the other to me by City point have been received. I am sorry it is not in our power to join you at Monticello—The trip requiring four horses renders it impossible to draw them from their work at this season without a sacrifice of our crop. To keep four horses for that trip only for all others we can perform without extra horses...
27To Thomas Jefferson from John Wayles Eppes, 29 July 1804 (Jefferson Papers)
I am happy to inform you that my little ones are in fine health again. Francis has recovered entirely from the complaint in his bowels and the little girl is the picture of health— I should have had the pleasure of meeting you at Monticello but Betsys youngest child has been and still continues so ill that it would be cruel to seperate her from it— She is every thing to Francis and he has...
28To Thomas Jefferson from John Wayles Eppes, 16 March 1804 (Jefferson Papers)
Maria continues nearly in the same situation as when I wrote last. She walked yesterday for the first time into an adjoining room—She is so extremely weak that her recovery will require I fear a considerable time—She has I hope at present nothing but weakness to contend against—The child continues quite well. I enclose a part of a letter received from Mr. Giles by this post—When I left...
29To Thomas Jefferson from John Wayles Eppes, 23 December 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
We yesterday reelected Mr. Mason to the Senate with an almost unanimous vote—I should have written to you last Evening but I was anxious to give You the issue of an affair between George Hay & Callender. An abusive piece appeared against Mr. Hay in the Recorder about ten days since—Hay accidentally meeting with Callender gave him very freely a good cudgel—Callender was very severely beat & his...
30To Thomas Jefferson from John Wayles Eppes, 4 January 1803 (Jefferson Papers)
Callender has been this day discharged from his recognizance by the County Court of Henerico—6 magistrates in favor of his discharge & 1 against it—The trial took up two days & the cause has been fully and ably argued—As I had not an opportunity of getting into the Court House from the concourse who attended I can give you no sketch of the arguments— Accept for your health &c My friendly...
