302To James Madison from Albert Gallatin, 5 January 1804 (Madison Papers)
I have the honor to return Mr. Erving’s letter of the 28th: Ultimo and its enclosures. It appears that, since Messrs. Bird Savage & Bird’s, failure, Mr. Erving has kept with Messrs. Lees & Co: an account of the monies belonging to the fund for the prosecution of Claims. This is contrary to the general principle which had been adopted in relation to the remittances made by this department for...

304To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 11 January 1804 (Jefferson Papers)
Mr Baring has concluded, notwithstanding Mr Pichon’s entreaties, not to take the stock till we shall have heard from New Orleans. He urges that it is not just that the risk, however improbable the event, of our not obtaining possession should fall on him; which he says would be the case if he gave a receipt for the stock before we know that we have possession. I offered to give him the...
305To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 12 January 1804 (Jefferson Papers)
The Treasury report mentioned in the law is sent annually by the Comptroller, commonly in Feby. The President may or may not transmit the enclosed as it is not the report contemplated by the law. It was sent, exactly in the shape in which the enclosed is made out, last year by the President & without any accompanying papers . The Treasury report is altogether different in form & substance....
306To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, with Jefferson’s Reply, 16 January 1804 (Jefferson Papers)
Mr Nourse waits for official information of the day on which possession of New Orleans was obtained for the purpose of filling the blanks left in the certificates of the date from which they are to bear interest. Will you have the goodness to send him a memorandum to that effect by the bearer, as I have no evidence of the fact but a Natchez news paper— Respectfully Your obedt. Servt. [ Reply...
307To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 18 January 1804 (Jefferson Papers)
Mr Harvie called on me this evening to inform me of his being selected to carry the stock to France and wishing that this might be ready to morrow. The Stock is ready; but there are two circumstances to be attended to. In the course of the transaction, I have always reminded Mr Pichon that we were neither bound to transmit the stock nor liable for any accidents which might attach to the...
308To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 23 January 1804 (Jefferson Papers)
It seems, upon the whole, more eligible that Mr Harvie should take his passage in a private vessel than in that which will be chartered from Norfolk. Mr Pichon thinks so, and I agree with him. Will you have the goodness to give the information to Mr Harvie, in order that he may make his arrangements. I will, if agreeable, write to the Collectors of New York and Baltimore in order to know what...
309To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 24 January 1804 (Jefferson Papers)
Is it proper to submit this letter to the Attorney general in order to examine whether prosecutions may be instituted under the Statute for actual opposition to the Marshal in the exercise of his legal functions? Or is it better not to notice the acts & to let the prosecutions for the riot take their course in the State courts? Respectfully submitted RC ( DLC : TJ Papers, 146:25373); undated,...
