Your several favors of Dec. 11. 19. & Jan. 2. have been duly recieved with the packets accompanying them, for which be pleased to accept my thanks, with those of the other members of my family to whom a part of them were addressed. I learn with much pleasure that your prospects of returning to France in the character you wish, afford grounds of hope. I sincerely wish they may be re l alised;...
When I wrote my letter of the day before yesterday , I had not yet had time to look into the pamphlets you had been so kind as to send me. I have now entered on them, and find in the very entrance an article so interesting as to induce me to trouble you with a second letter. it is the first paper of the 1 st fasciculus of published by the Belfast society in which mr Richardson gives an account...
My distance from the seat of gover n ment and ignorance of safe conveyances to Paris have occasioned me to be late in acknoleging your favor of Oct: 27. that of Jan. 19. is lately recieved. with the former came the Memoires d’Agriculture, the map of M. Komarzewski, and with the latter the seeds from the national garden. will you do me the favor to make my just acknolegements to those to whom...
My last to you was of Dec. 29. 13. since which I have recieved your’s of May 5. and July 25. with P.S.S. of June 18. & Aug. 1. these gave me the first information of your being under any difficulty with our government, and I lost no time in writing to the President & Sec y of State , sending the statement you inclosed. the plain and direct narrative of this paper I did not doubt would impress...
Your favor of Apr. 8. by the Osage has been duly recieved, and I presume that, some time ere this, mine of May 1. by the St. Michael will have reached you. in that I acknoleged the several favors I had recieved from you with the thankfulness due to your attentions, & the present will shew how much they have encouraged me to press still further on your indulgence. I now inclose letters to M....
Your acceptable letters of Mar. & Apr. 20. and of May 15. of the present year, have not been sooner answered, nor the brochures you so kindly sent me, acknoleged because the state of my health has in a great degree interdicted to me the labors of the writing table. add to this a stiffening wrist, the effect of age on an antient dislocation, which is likely to deprive me entirely of the use of...
I recieved your favor of the 1 st by our yesterday’s post and have hastily written the two inclosed letters to Mess rs La Fayette & Kosciuszko , the in the hope that the return of the post may still find you at Washington . I kept, during the last half dozen years of my residence at Washington a diary of the weather . I h
I have recieved your letters dear Sir, at different times with pamphlets and other favors without specific acknolegements. not that I have not been duly sensible and thankful for these kind attentions, but that I am become all but unable to write. besides the weight of 80. years pressing heavily on me, a wrist & fingers which have nearly lost their joints render writing so slow & painful that...
The possibility that another post may still find you at Washington induces me to risk another letter’s getting in time to have the benefit of your care. mr Mazzei , of Pisa , to whom it is addressed, is the intimate friend of mr Febroni , probably known to you as a man of letters, lately appointed by the Emperor a Maitre de requetes , charged with the care of roads and bridges South of the Alps
Th: Jefferson presents his friendly salutations to mr Warden and having recieved a single copy of the Review of Montesquieu he is anxious to have the benefit of the safe conveyance by mr Warden & the Essex to get it to France . he again therefore takes the chance of a letter still finding him at Washington & of asking his care of it with a repetition of his wishes for a happy voiage.
