27052From Thomas Jefferson to Charles Lilburne Lewis, 11 September 1795 (Jefferson Papers)
All I know about the lands directed to be sold by my father’s executors is that in an account settled between Dr. Walker and myself I am allowed a credit of £15. at the date of May 23. 1771. being for three eighths of my father’s share of the lead mine, to wit my own eighth part, and those of my sisters Jane and Elizabeth @ £5. each. Consequently your share would be £5. with interest from that...
27053From Thomas Jefferson to George Washington, 12 September 1795 (Jefferson Papers)
The last post brought me a letter from Madame de Chastellux, covering the inclosed, which she informs me is on the same subject with hers to me, and that she refers you to me for particulars. I had very little acquaintance with her personally in Paris. I understood she was the daughter of an English general Plunket in the Austrian service, entirely without fortune. Chastellux is said to have...
27054From Thomas Jefferson to John Craig Millar, 13 September 1795 (Jefferson Papers)
I was sometime ago honored with your favor of July 10. covering that of Mr. Stewart of Mar. 1. whose letters and friends are always to me objects of great respect. It is flattering to our country to become an object of preference to men of science, whom any circumstances invite to a change of their soil. But it were to be wished it could hold out to them at the same time better prospects of...
27055From Thomas Jefferson to Henry Tazewell, 13 September 1795 (Jefferson Papers)
I ought much sooner to have acknoleged your obliging attention in sending me a copy of the treaty. It was the first we recieved in this part of the country. Tho I have interdicted myself all serious attention to political matters, yet a very slight notice of that in question sufficed to decide my mind against it. I am not satisfied we should not be better without treaties with any nation. But...
27056From Thomas Jefferson to John Barnes, 14 September 1795 (Jefferson Papers)
The bearer hereof, Mr. Peyton , is a young gentleman who has lately entered into commerce at Milton, a small town near me. Proposing to establish a correspondence for his supplies at Philadelphia, and being an entire stranger there he has asked me to introduce him to some person who may be able to advise him to good characters for his dealings. I am personally but little acquainted with him,...
27057From Thomas Jefferson to Sampson Crosby, 15 September 1795 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of July 28 . came duly to hand, and since that I have recieved the box containing Dunlap’s and Bache’s volumes for 1794. and the two volumes of Genl. Washington’s letters . As I am anxious to continue to recieve those newspapers at the end of the year, bound up, perhaps it would be better to bespeak them now for the present year, to be laid by till the close of the year in the...
27058From Thomas Jefferson to St. George Tucker, 15 September 1795 (Jefferson Papers)
Come and take your nap with us to-night. I have not the pleasure of being acquainted with Mr. Carrington but if he will accompany you, I shall therefore be the more obliged to him. It will relieve you from the heats and drunken noise of Charlottesville and you will return in better tone to the functions of justice in the morning and more philanthropically disposed to gloss over the follies...
27059From Thomas Jefferson to Joseph Donath, 16 September 1795 (Jefferson Papers)
I have this day recieved your favor of Aug. 27. Having imagined that you always had a stock of glass on hand of assorted sizes, so that I might at any time make up a deficiency, I sent you but a rough guess of the quantity I should want. Finding now that it is necessary to be more exact, I have estimated my wants with more care, and find they will be the quantity stated below, which therefore...
