1From Thomas Jefferson to Gouverneur Morris, 24 May 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
The bearer hereof, Mr. Barnes, is, as I understand, the representative of the company concerned in the steam navigation of the late Mr. Rumsey, was the attorney of Mr. Rumsey here, and goes now to Europe to secure the benefit of his discoveries to those entitled to them. In times like these he may need your protection as a stranger, and at all times would merit it as a man of worth and...
2From Thomas Jefferson to Gouverneur Morris, 12 July 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
My last to you was of the 16th. of June. Your favor of Apr. 25. from London was received yesterday just in time to be put into the hands of the President before he set out for Virginia. I shall follow him tomorrow, and not return till the last of September. Consequently I shall probably not write to you again before that date. The public papers will be regularly sent to you during my absence...
3From Thomas Jefferson to Gouverneur Morris, 11 September 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
My late letters to you have been of Aug. 16. 23. and 26: and a duplicate of the two first will accompany this. Yours lately received are Apr. 4. 5. 11. 19. May 20. and June 1. being Nos. 26. to 31. I have little particular to say to you by this opportunity which may be less certain than the last.—The North Western Indians have refused to meet our Commissioners unless they would agree to the...
4From Thomas Jefferson to Gouverneur Morris, 13 June 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
The insulated state in which France is placed with respect to all the world almost by the present war, has cut off all means of addressing letters to you through other countries. I embrace the present occasion by a private individual going to France directly, to mention that since the date of my last public letter, which was April 24. and which covered the President’s proclamation of Apr. I...
5From Thomas Jefferson to Gouverneur Morris, 16 June 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
My last to you was of Mar. 28. Yours of Apr. 6. and 10. came to hand three days ago. With respect to the particular objects of commerce susceptible of being placed on a better footing, on which you ask my ideas, they will shew themselves by the inclosed Table of the situation of our commerce with France and England. That with France is stated as it stood at the time I left that country, when...
6From Thomas Jefferson to Gouverneur Morris, 28 April 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
My last letter to you was of the 10th. of March. The preceding one of Jan. 23. had conveyed to you your appointment as Minister Plenipotentiary to the court of France. The present will, I hope, find you there. I now inclose you the correspondence between the Secretary of the treasury and Minister of France on the subject of the monies furnished to the distresses of their colonies. You will...
7From Thomas Jefferson to Gouverneur Morris, 26 November 1790 (Jefferson Papers)
I have yet to acknowledge the receipt of your two favors of Apr. 10. and July 7. By the latter it would seem as if you had written an intermediate one which has never come to hand: and the letter of July 7. itself was not recieved till the 14th. of October, while I was in Virginia from which I am but just returned. The President is not yet returned, tho’ expected tomorrow.—The Declaration and...
8From Thomas Jefferson to Gouverneur Morris, 26 August 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
The inclosed papers should have been annexed to the documents of my letter of Aug. 16. but were omitted by inadvertence. They are therefore now inclosed to you separately. I have the honor to be with great esteem & respect Dr Sir your most obedt. servt. Mr. Genet’s answer to the address of the citizens of Philada. do. lately to do. at New York. The above contain his declaration that France did...
9From Thomas Jefferson to Gouverneur Morris, 29 April 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
Being in want of an aid in my kitchen, and having at Paris had one who on occasion could supply his principal, I have desired my Maitre d’hotel to write to engage him to come to me. The inclosed letter to a Madame François is on that subject, and I have taken the liberty of desiring that the person (Henri by name) may present himself to you, in hopes that you will be so good as to direct him...
10From Thomas Jefferson to Gouverneur Morris, 7 November 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
My last to you was of the 15th. of Oct. since which I have recieved your Nos. 1. 2. 3. 5. 6. 7. Tho’ mine went by a conveyance directly to Bordeaux, and may therefore probably get safe to you yet I think it proper, lest it should miscarry, to repeat to you the following paragraph from it. ‘We are informed by the public papers that the late constitution of France, formally notified to us, is...
