4322David Bailie Warden to Thomas Jefferson, 17 April 1809 (Jefferson Papers)
I had the honor of writing to you, by M r Purviance , the bearer of dispatches. I now beg leave to inclose, for your perusal, an analysis of tobacco, which you will please to present to the Philosophical Society of Philadelphia . As it is curious and interesting, it may be deemed worthy of a place in the next volume of their memoirs. The essence of tobacco, prepared in America , if allowed to...

4324John Daingerfield to Thomas Jefferson, 5 June 1812 (Jefferson Papers)
I am very sorry to learn from my mother you refused to pay a the full year’s hire for her man Edmund ; as the principle has been long since settled; and juries never hesitate, when the subject is brought before them to decide against a deduction and certainly this must be right, for unless some such thing was implied the owner of a slave never would hire him a year for 70 dollars when he could...

4326George Logan to Thomas Jefferson, 16 October 1816 (Jefferson Papers)
I contemplate with great satisfaction the publication of your system of ethicks extracted from the holy scriptures, as tending to support the correct maxim—that religion should influence the political as well as the moral conduct of man, strictly complying with the sacrid injunction , of doing unto others whatever we desire others to do unto us. However sincerely attached a christian statesman...
4327George Jefferson to Thomas Jefferson, 1 March 1811 (Jefferson Papers)
Lest your failing to forward a note in time to renew yours in the bank should occasion you some uneasiness, I have concluded to inform you that it has not been attended with the smallest inconvenience: the situation of G & J’s account in the bank at this time being such, as to enable them to raise the money by putting in their own note. Had it been at all important, I should probably have...
4328From James Madison to Thomas Jefferson, 6 March 1812 (Madison Papers)
I return the letter from Foronda inclosed in yours of the 19th. Feby. I find I shall not be able to read his lucrubations [ sic ] in print. The letter from Dr. Guantt [ sic ] is in the hands of the Secy. of war, and will not be unheeded; but the course the nominations have taken makes it doubtful whether the wishes in behalf of his son, can be fulfilled. You will see that Congs. or rather the...

An Old revolutionary officer who embarked in his Country’s cause early in the year 1776, in the seventeenth year of his age, & who continued in actual and active service ’till the Army was disbanded, and our Independence established, presumes to address you—he hopes & trust he will not be unheard or disregarded— The enclosed Address to the Citizens of the first Electorial District of Maryl d...
4330Gibson & Jefferson to Thomas Jefferson, 30 January 1812 (Jefferson Papers)
Your letter of the 5 th Ins t relative to your crops of flour and Tobacco, we observe was replied to by M r Ligon on the 9 th : we regret we did not sooner notice the quotations he gave you of the prices of the latter as we do not consider them applicable to such a crop as yours, but merely for small crops or pic
