2191Thomas Jefferson to Lewis Brown, 11 March 1813 (Jefferson Papers)
Your letter of Feb. 25. never got to my hands till last night. the purchase of the horse from you by mr Darnell was on my account, and the debt as much acknoleged as if a bond had been given. I had desired my merchant in Richmond , as soon as he could sell my flour from the Poplar Forest (which got down but lately) to remit a sum of money to mr Goodman , sufficient to pay your’s and other...
2192From James Madison to Obadiah B. Brown, 1 September 1815 (Madison Papers)
I inclose for your perusal the letter and document covered by yours of the 22 Ult: and of which the contents were unknown to you. They present a case so very extraordinary, that uninformed as I am with respect to the writer, I may err in the proper answer. This will be an apology for my requesting your perusal of the one sent, and that you will be so good as not to forward it, if you should...
2193Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Brown, 14 July 1813 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favors of May 25. and June 13. have been duly recieved as also the 1 st supply of Capsicum, and the 2 d of the same article with other seeds. I shall set great store by the Capsicum if it is hardy enough for our climate the species we have heretofore tried, being too tender. the Galavanic too will be particularly attended to, as it appears very different from what we cultivate by that...
2194Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Brown, 17 April 1813 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of Octob. 1. came to hand with a note from mr Poindexter , on the 20 th Ult. as also the Guinea grass seed, and Capsicum . they were exactly in time for sowing and were immediately sowed. they had got mixed by the way, and the capsicum seeds were difficult to find. not more than three or four could be discovered, & these rather doubtful. I dibbled them however in a pot to give them...
2195Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Brown, 24 April 1813 (Jefferson Papers)
I wrote you a few days ago in answer to your favor accompanying the seeds of the Guinea grass and Capsicum. the object of the present is to sollicit the protection of your cover for the inclosed letter to ensure it’s safety as far as Natches , and then your kind aid in committing it to the proper channel of conveyance. I have been told there is a post direct from Natchez to Washita . if not, I...
2196Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Brown, 28 April 1814 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of Feb. 8 . was recieved on the 9 th of March. I thank you for the trouble you have taken respecting Henderson , whose testimony would have been valuable to me: but I doubt if he would have given it, having latterly had reason to suspect that himself was the cheat by whom I lose 2000. Dollars. I sincerely condole sympathise with you in the affliction mentioned in your letter....
2197Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Brown, 13 November 1813 (Jefferson Papers)
On the 24 th of April I took the liberty of putting under your cover a letter for James L. Henderson of Washita , and in yours of May 25. you were so kind as to state to me the conveyance you had procured for it, and the probability that an answer might be returned by the same person. none having been recieved, I fear that that man Henderson does not mean to answer, altho’ in that letter I...

2199Thomas Jefferson to William Brown, 22 May 1809 (Jefferson Papers)
My new situation & the active occupations to which it has given occasion, must be my apology for this late acknolegement of the reciept of your favor of Oct. 10. informing me you had been so kind as to send me some articles by the schooner Sampson Cap t Smith . the answer was deferred long in expectation of her arrival, and that becoming at length desperate, my removal from Washington , & the...
2200Thomas Jefferson to Susan Maria Bruff, 17 April 1816 (Jefferson Papers)
I sincerely condole with you, Madam, on the loss of your worthy father , of which your letter gives me the first information. to the public he bade fair to be very useful by his inexhaustible ingenuity; and to his family he must have been inestimable. these afflictions are our common lot; and they come from a hand to which we must bow with resignation. the example of virtue and industry he...
