1From Thomas Jefferson to Stephen Cathalan, Jr., 8 August 1786 (Jefferson Papers)
I have been duly honoured with your favor of July 28. I have in consequence thereof re-considered the order of council of Berny, and it appears to me to extend as much to the Southern ports of France as to the Western, and that for tobacco delivered in any port where there is no manufacture, only 30. sols per quintal is to be deducted. The farmers may perhaps evade the purchase of tobacco in a...
2From Thomas Jefferson to Stephen Cathalan, Jr., 21 July 1787 (Jefferson Papers)
I received your favor of May 9. just as I was stepping into the barge on my departure from Cette: which prevented my answering it from that place. On my arrival here, I thought I would avail myself of the opportunity of paying your balance to make a little acquaintance with Sr. John Lambert. One or two unsuccessful attempts to find him at home, with the intermediate procrastinations well known...
3From Thomas Jefferson to Stephen Cathalan, Jr., 28 December 1787 (Jefferson Papers)
I have this day received your favor of the 19th instant and avail myself of the first post to pray you to send the second Couffe of rice of Egypt by the American brig Nancy, Capt. Shewell, consigned to Mr. William Drayton chairman of the society for agriculture at Charlestown in South Carolina, writing a line to him at the same time to inform him of it, and that it comes from me. I will write...
4From Thomas Jefferson to Stephen Cathalan, Jr., 3 March 1788 (Jefferson Papers)
Being called to Holland at a very few hours warning I have only time to notify you that I shall be absent from this place three or four weeks to come. In the mean time should any thing pressing occur, Mr. Short my secretary will attend to it. I have paid Sr. John Lambert according to the account you sent me for the articles you were so kind as to procure for me. All have come safely except the...
5From Thomas Jefferson to Stephen Cathalan, Jr., 25 November 1788 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of the 17th. is just received. I would be obliged to you not to send the trees by the ship for Boston, as one single Winter night of that country would infallibly kill them. In fact they must go to no place but Charlestown. If you foresee no conveiance for that place, I will beg the favor of you to have them divided into two parcels, keep one to run the risk of a direct conveiance...

As Mr. Russel, his son will pass thro’ Marseilles I take the liberty of introducing him to your acquaintance and attentions, assuring you you will find him worthy of them in every respect. They will be considered as additional obligations on Sir your most obedient &...
7From Thomas Jefferson to Stephen Cathalan, Jr., 18 January 1789 (Jefferson Papers)
You have done very well not to venture the olive plants thro’ the canal of Languedoc during the late cold season, as you mention to me in your favor of the 1st. inst. I should wish a good parcel to be sent by the Baltimore vessel, only charging your correspondent in Baltimore to ship them immediately to Charleston to the address of Messrs. Brailsford & Morris merchants of Charleston, or Mr....
8From Thomas Jefferson to Stephen Cathalan, Jr., 10 February 1789 (Jefferson Papers)
I am this moment informed that Mr. Hall, an American of my acquaintance now at Marseilles will sail from that port for Baltimore more about the 20th. of this month. If you have no direct conveiance to Charleston it would be best to put the olive plants into the care of Mr. Hall who would be so good as to attend to them during their passage to Baltimore and to find a speedy and safe conveiance...
9From Thomas Jefferson to Stephen Cathalan, Jr., 28 February 1789 (Jefferson Papers)
I take the liberty of putting under cover to you the inclosed letter to Mr. Russell-Graves, hoping that if he should be gone from Marseilles you may know how to address it so as that he may receive it. With compliments to your father and the ladies I have the honor to be with great esteem & attachment Dr. Sir your most obedt. & most humble servt., PrC ( MHi ). Enclosure: TJ to Thomas...
