22From Thomas Jefferson to Albert Gallatin, 16 November 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
I omitted in my last note to you to express my approbation of what you propose as to mr Nourse. his known integrity and every other circumstance of the case make it proper. it would seem by Genl. Smith’s letter that Isaac Smith of Northampton has been invariably a whig . if so there need be no further hesitation to appoint him for Cherriton’s, and the rather as he says that Bowdoin has...
23From Thomas Jefferson to Albert Gallatin, 28 November 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
Your own opinion & that of the Atty Genl. are sufficient authorities to me to approve of prosecuting in the case of the Schooner Sally. and I will candidly add that my judgment also concurs. the handcuffs & bolts are palpable testimonials of the intention of the voyage, & the concealment of them, & their omission in the statement of the cargo, strengthens the proof. the traffic too is so...

25From Thomas Jefferson to Albert Gallatin, 14 December 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
Before your papers of to-day came, I had read the report & inclosed it with a word of answer . I have gone through those last sent , rapidly as the time required. your former explanations had already prepared me for them. they are entirely satisfactory. I believe I should have taken ranker ground, by assuming a higher amount of impost to proceed on. but your’s is safest and answers all our...

28From Thomas Jefferson to Albert Gallatin, 12 January 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
The proceedings of the Commissioners of Washington with Maryland seem not to be accurately understood. Maryland lent them 250,000 D. of stock at par, on which they lost 15. percent. they proposed therefore that Maryland should leave Congress free to repay in stock. they did not propose, nor ever thought of, shortening the terms of paiment. Maryland agrees to recieve stock on condition it is...

Th: Jefferson incloses to mr Gallatin another anonymous letter from Charleston, doubtless from the same hand.—he asks his attention to so much of the letter of mr Esch as respects the seisure of his watches, and to have done on it whatever is right. the young man is recommended by Professor Pictet.—is the object of the inclosed petition within our competence, or must it go to Congress? if the...
