1From Thomas Jefferson to Martha Jefferson Carr, 19 October 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
I recieved your letter in which you were so kind as to inform me what kinds of supplies might be useful to our sister Marks, and I meant when I should make a purchase of stores for myself in Philadelphia to bring here, to have got some for her also. But the infectious fever which took place there, drove us all away very suddenly, and made it too dangerous to go into the city to purchase: so...

3From Thomas Jefferson to Martha Jefferson Carr, 14 April 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
Your bill for £10–5 in favor of Mr. Austin has been presented and paid. It greives me to inform you I am not able to furnish the residue of the sum you desired in any short time. I never in my life had such a right to be flush in money as at present, and yet never was so mortifyingly bare and helpless. I had a right to receive £800. in Richmond under an execution, and by some evasion of law, I...
4From Thomas Jefferson to Martha Jefferson Carr, 3 February 1790 (Jefferson Papers)
In settling the accounts of our father’s estate we find Mr. Carr charged by Dr. Walker with the paiment of £200. and by Kippen & co. with £100. If both these charges were true he would have been overpaid £100. and his estate would now have to refund that sum with upwards of 20. years interest. I know he received the £100. from Kippen & co. because it was that which he lent me and for which I...

6From Thomas Jefferson to Martha Jefferson Carr, 7 November 1790 (Jefferson Papers)
That you may have no uneasiness from what you will hear from Peter, I will mention to you that a worthless fellow, named Rind, wrote a libel on the inhabitants of Charlottesville and neighborhood, which P. Carr and G. Jefferson were imprudent enough to suffer him to communicate to them. Rind then pasted it up in Charlottesville, and from expressions of his, the suspicions were directed on all...

10From Thomas Jefferson to Martha Jefferson Carr, 18 February 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
I recieved some days ago your favor of Dec. 15. and have so long delayed answering it because I was in daily expectation of receiving information of a considerable sum of money being lodged for me in Richmond. Tho I think this cannot fail to take place, and that very shortly, yet I have thought it necessary to acknolege in the mean time the receipt of your letter, and to mention to you my...
11From Thomas Jefferson to Martha Jefferson Carr, 21 April 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
Yours of Mar. 23. came duly to hand, and by the same post a letter of the 24th. from mr Eppes informing me that Maria was so much better that in a few days she would be able to go to Montblanco. I since learn that Patsy is got home, whence I conclude that all is at length well. it has been indeed a most painful and tedious case; and my anxieties have been extreme. mr Eppes proposed to me to go...
12From Thomas Jefferson to Martha Jefferson Carr, 25 July 1787 (Jefferson Papers)
Your letter of May 5. 1786. came to my hands January 24. 1787. My memory tells me that I have answered the article in it relative to Mr. Bernard Moore’s purchase of books of Mr. Carr’s estate; yet as I find neither a copy nor note of my letter to you on that occasion, I will repeat what I therein assured you, that I am almost perfectly certain that Mr. Moore never accounted to me for the...

14From Thomas Jefferson to Martha Jefferson Carr, 20 August 1785 (Jefferson Papers)
Your letter of May 6. came to hand by Mr. Mazzei on the 22d. of July. I sincerely condole with Mr. Bolling and my sister on their late losses. None can do it fully but those who have been in their situation. You and I have that unfortunate qualification. It would be difficult to find a fibre of the human heart whose sufferings are unknown to me. My losses have left me little more to lose. I am...
