3To Thomas Jefferson from Harry Innes, 8 July 1790 (Jefferson Papers)
After an interval of about nine years I have ventured to renew our slight acquaintance by presenting you with a curiosity lately found by one of the Settlers on the Cumberland River. It is the Image carved of Stone of a naked Woman kneeling; it is roughly executed, but from the coarseness of the Stone the instrument with which it was probably carved and its antiquity I think shews the maker to...

Be pleased to accept of my thanks for the freindly part you manifested respecting my Slaves who were captured by the Indians; there was a probability of recovering them; I had no hopes thro’ that channel, neither am I disappointed by the Indians refusing to Treat with our Commissioners.

8To Thomas Jefferson from Harry Innes, 21 January 1794 (Jefferson Papers)
Agreable to the promise contained in my last Letter I now inclose you the Remonstrance drawn and circulated by the Democratic society in this state. I shall only observe that it here meets with very general approbation. I think I hinted in my Letter that foreign aid had been offered to Kentucky; it has been told me to day that Majr. Genl. Logan of the state Militia has resigned his state...
