I hope, Sir, that this letter will find [you] settled in your retreat at Monticello. It is the first which I have had the honor to address to you since your departure. I congratulate you on the temperate conduct of the French Convention towards the U.S. in regard to the late Altercations of Mr. Genet with our Government and his conduct in general. I understood yesterday from the P. that Mr....
The inclosed accounts of the recapture of Toulon will give you satisfaction in a high degree. They are believed here by all parties. It is added that the Earl of Moira has returned without landing his Army in Britanny. This is the most important Advice we have received since the war, as I have the honor to mention to you confidentially, that Mr. P. writes from L. that Ld. Granville has finally...
Since I had the honor to write you last the inclosed have been delivered to me by a person, who received them from Europe. They were not accompanied by a letter, but were said to have come from the Editor. Last Evenings post brought us the information from London under date of the 20th. Decemr. in Fenno’s Gazette.

I had learned from Mr. Maddison and Mr. Monroe the delay of all letters to you before I had the honor to receive your acknowledgment of those I have written to you at Montecello. Your agricultural pursuits must be a delightful recreation after the fatigue, vexations, and nonsense of city life and public station. The subject is very captivating in the theory, and it is so peculiarly interesting...

He observed that 25 Cents are the cost of it. You will find it amusing to read it. The British Judges and Juries do not hold, that unconstitutional acts of Parliament are void or their constitution is miserably bad...
I take the opportunity by Mr. Madison to transmit to you a copy of a collection of papers which one of our printers has lately published and of which I request you will do me the honor to accept. They may assist to shew foreigners, our young people, and those, who have been out of the way of seeing for themselves, some of the considerable facts, which have affected the political and private...
I have postponed to answer the letter you did me the honor to write last untill I should have found a good opportunity to forward your pacquets to Mr. Monroe, and M. Van Staphorsts & Co. They went, about two weeks ago, in an American Ship, and were committed to the care of a Mr. Murgatroyd of Philadelphia. He is a young [man] of good connexions here, and I doubt not will place them in the...
Your letters for Mr. Pinckney, Mr. Monroe &ca. were all carefully forwarded. I should have given you this information before, but I wanted to send you the four papers (in the enclosed pamphlets) under the Signature of “ Juricola .” I have said to individuals, without reserve, in public and private life, that they were mine, as I have no more reserve in discussions thro the press, than in a...
Your two last letters for Europe , tho unacknowledged, have long since been carefully forwarded. Peace does not appear to be at hand in Europe by our accounts to the 12th. of March. Belgium seems to be the principal cause. A just and safe disposition of that country for all the parties in the war and for itself appears to be a matter of great intrinsic difficulty. If France and England are not...
