11From Thomas Jefferson to C. W. F. Dumas, 2 March 1788 (Jefferson Papers)
Being informed that Mr. Adams was to leave London on the 29th. Ult. for the Hague, I have determined to meet him there. But lest he should have finished his business and be gone before I can get there, I write the inclosed to press him to await an interview, and send it by the post which will be 24 hours before me. I take the liberty of putting it under your cover, as you will certainly know...
12From Thomas Jefferson to C. W. F. Dumas, 30 August 1791 (Jefferson Papers)
I am to acknolege the reciept of your favors of Jan. 23 Feb. 15. Apr. 8. and May 24. with the intelligence they contained, and the regular transmission of the Leyden gazette by the British packet. A course of tranquil prosperity leaves me nothing to detail to you. The crops of the earth are again promising, public credit remains high, and a general content prevailing thro the states. A first...
13From Thomas Jefferson to C. W. F. Dumas, 29 March 1788 (Jefferson Papers)
I have now to acknolege the receipt of your favors of the 14th. 18th. and 23d. inst. I would have preferred doing it in person, but the season and the desire of seeing what I have not yet seen invite me to take the route of the Rhine. I shall leave this place tomorrow morning and probably not reach Paris till the latter end of April. In the moment we were to have conferred on the subject of...
14From Thomas Jefferson to C. W. F. Dumas, 30 July 1789 (Jefferson Papers)
My letter of the 27th. will have informed you of the reasons of my long silence. The present is to acknolege the receipt of your favors of the 22d. and 24th. with the packet from America accompanying them. It’s date was of the month of March, so that it conveys me nothing new. Mr. Necker’s arrival here will contribute to the reestablishment of tranquillity. The National assembly proceeds with...
15From Thomas Jefferson to C. W. F. Dumas, 21 February 1788 (Jefferson Papers)
I have received your very friendly letter of the 12th. instant. My journey to Amsterdam is among possible events only, and scarcely probable. Should I take it, one of it’s gratifications will be the pleasure of seeing you at the Hague, and you only, because my business being at Amsterdam with private individuals only, I should mean to slide on without being seen or known to any but those with...
16From Thomas Jefferson to C. W. F. Dumas, 24 March 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
I have to acknolege the receipt of your favors of Sep. 20. Nov. 13. and Jan. 9. I shall hope your continuance to send us the Leyden gazette as usual, but all the other gazettes which you have hitherto usually sent, may be discontinued. The scene in Europe is becoming very interesting. Amidst the confusions of a general war which seem to be threatening that quarter of the globe, we hope to be...
17From Thomas Jefferson to C. W. F. Dumas, 4 October 1785 (Jefferson Papers)
I received yesterday your favour of Sep. 28. and shall take care that your bill be honoured. I propose to write to the Commissioners of the Treasury to direct in what manner the salaries of the public servants and other money demands shall be paid. Dr. Franklin had of course a general direction of the funds here. Circumstances rendered this necessary. These have now changed, insomuch that it...
18From Thomas Jefferson to C. W. F. Dumas, 9 August 1787 (Jefferson Papers)
The departure of a packet boat from Havre for New York occasioning me always a great deal of previous writing, I have not been able sooner to acknowlege the receipt of your Note of June 8. on Warneck’s succession, letter of June 30. Extract of letter of July 9. to Mr. Adams, and letters of July 10. and 12. to myself. Your last dispatches to Mr. Jay go by the Packet-boat which sails tomorrow....
19From Thomas Jefferson to C. W. F. Dumas, 22 September 1786 (Jefferson Papers)
I am honored with your letter of the 12th. of Septr. and condole with you very sincerely on the domestic loss you have sustained. The affairs of your Republic seem at present under a cloud which threatens great events. If the powers of the Stadtholder should be thereby reduced to such only as are salutary and the happiness of the people placed on a basis more within the command of their own...
20From Thomas Jefferson to C. W. F. Dumas, 20 May 1785 (Jefferson Papers)
I am honored with your favor of the 10th. inst. and am sorry it is not in my power to answer any one of the questions proposed in the papers inclosed to me. They relate altogether to the lands and culture of South Carolina, which are so totally different from those of Virginia that I am unable to give any information on the subject. The staples of S. Carolina are rice and indigo; those of...
