2993From Thomas Jefferson to William Carmichael, 14 June 1787 (Jefferson Papers)
Having got back to Paris three days ago, I resume immediately the correspondence with which you have been pleased to honour me. I wish I could have begun it with more agreeable information than that furnished me by Mr. Grand, that the funds of the United states here are exhausted and himself considerably in advance, and by the Board of treasury at New York that they have no immediate prospect...
2994From Thomas Jefferson to C. W. F. Dumas, 14 June 1787 (Jefferson Papers)
I arrived at this place three days ago, and avail myself of the first possible moment of acknowleging the receipt of your favors of the 5th. and 7th. of June. The letters they accompanied for Mr. Jay shall be sent by the packet which sails the 25th. instant, and by a passenger. My letters from America are none later than the 24th. of April. The disturbances in the Eastern states were entirely...
2995From Thomas Jefferson to Martha Jefferson, 14 June 1787 (Jefferson Papers)
I send you, my dear Patsy, the 15 livres you desired. You propose this to me as an anticipation of five weeks allowance. But do you not see my dear how imprudent it is to lay out in one moment what should accomodate you for five weeks? That this is a departure from that rule which I wish to see you governed by, thro’ your whole life, of never buying any thing which you have not money in your...
2996From Thomas Jefferson to Parent, 14 June 1787 (Jefferson Papers)
Si vous croyez, Monsieur, que le vin de Voulenayé et le vin de Meursault de la qualité nommée Goutte d’or peuvent etre transportés à Paris pendant les chaleurs actuelles, je vous prierai de m’envoyer une feuillette de chacune de ces deux especes, en bouteilles, des meilleures crues, et de la recolte qui est la meilleure pour etre bu le moment actuel. Vous aurez la bonté de m’indiquer la...
2997From Thomas Jefferson to the Commissioners of the Treasury, 17 June 1787 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of Feb. 16. has duly come to hand. I will beg leave to repeat an explanation, which I think I had the honor of giving you in a former letter, of the reason why the bills of Mr. Dumas have been paid for some time past by Mr. Grand. Soon after the departure of Dr. Franklin a bill drawn by Mr. Dumas on me was presented for a quarter’s salary. I went to Mr. Grand and asked him if he...
2998From Thomas Jefferson to Du Pin d’Assarts, 18 June 1787 (Jefferson Papers)
I learn with sincere concern the distressed situation in which you find yourself. However unqualified as a stranger to decide in general on the various cases of misfortune which present themselves, I am still persuaded your’s is real. I therefore feel the more regret on being obliged to assure you that it is out of my power to relieve you from your situation. The king is in disposition, as...
2999From Thomas Jefferson to John Banister, Jr., 19 June 1787 (Jefferson Papers)
I have received your favor of April 23. from New York and am sorry to find you have had a relapse. Time and temperance however will cure you, to which add exercise. I hope you have long ago had a happy meeting with your friends, with whom a few hours would be to me an ineffable feast. The face of Europe appears a little turbid, but all will subside. The Empress has endeavored to bully the...
3000From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Barclay, 19 June 1787 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of the 12th. came to hand two days ago. Your adversary had been busy here in endeavoring to have your privilege examined and withdrawn. They had, as I think, interested Mr. Eden, the British minister, and thro’ that or some other channel conveied a story to the ear of some of the ministers, very unfavorable to you. They had particularly represented some circumstance attending the...
