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.

2Thomas Jefferson to David Bailie Warden, 12 January 1811 (Jefferson Papers)
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...
3Thomas Jefferson to David Bailie Warden, 15 July 1810 (Jefferson Papers)
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...
4Thomas Jefferson to David Bailie Warden, 27 February 1815 (Jefferson Papers)
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...
5From Thomas Jefferson to David Bailie Warden, 16 July 1808 (Jefferson Papers)
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....
6Thomas Jefferson to David Bailie Warden, 26 December 1820 (Jefferson Papers)
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...
7Thomas Jefferson to David Bailie Warden, 8 July 1811 (Jefferson Papers)
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
8From Thomas Jefferson to David Bailie Warden, 30 October 1822 (Jefferson Papers)
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...
9Thomas Jefferson to David Bailie Warden, 9 July 1811 (Jefferson Papers)
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.

11Thomas Jefferson to David Bailie Warden, 17 May 1816 (Jefferson Papers)
I recieved last night your favor of Feb. 20. and hasten to acknolege it by return of mail, in the hope it may be in time to reach mr Gallatin before his departure. I should have associated you myself with mr Ticknor in requesting the friendly office of purchasing some books for me, but at the time he left this country your letters had given me reason to believe you might be on a return to it....
12Thomas Jefferson to David Bailie Warden, 1 February 1816 (Jefferson Papers)
It is long since I have written to you. the reason has been that from one of your letters I concluded you were returning to the US . by yours of Apr. 9. 15. I found you were still at Paris . I can assure you that I did every thing in your case which could be done, as far as decency or effect permitted: but I found that nothing would avail; & ceased under the hope that your presence here might...
13From Thomas Jefferson to David Bailie Warden, 31 October 1823 (Jefferson Papers)
If these things depended on ourselves, I should have great need of apology for being so late in acknoleging your letters of May. 13. & Aug. 15. and many indeed preceding them, as well as brochures, books E t c. but much sickness, age itself, and the debility consequent on it have withdrawn me from nearly all correspondence; and two dislocated wrists and crippled fingers render writing so slow...
14From Thomas Jefferson to David Bailie Warden, 25 February 1809 (Jefferson Papers)
My last to you was of July 16. since which I have received your several favors of May 25. Jun. 12. July 22. 24. & Sep. 2. & as in the last you mention that you had never received mine of May 1. 1808. I inclose you a copy with the expression of my sincere regrets that the Acknolegements of your favors contained in it should have been so long unreceived. Mr. Humboldt’s work is also received & in...

M r Burwell is this moment arrived here, and our post in the instant of it’s departure. the inclosed letter happens to have been ready written and I am extremely anxious to have it delivered into the hands of M. Tracy without the possibility of it’s being opened by the government. mr Burwell thinks if I inclose it to you by this post it may get to N. York before you will have sailed. I...
16From Thomas Jefferson to David Bailie Warden, 1 May 1808 (Jefferson Papers)
I have been frequently indebted to you for forwarding to me several new productions from Paris, some of them from the authors, some from your own kindness. of the former were the works of Maximus of Tyre by M. Comb. Dounous, for whom I now trouble you with a letter, & Agricultural transactions and memoirs from M. Sylvestre, to whom I am indebted a letter, & shall not be unmindful of it. from...
17Thomas Jefferson to David Bailie Warden, 29 December 1813 (Jefferson Papers)
I need much of your indulgence for the want of punctuality in acknoleging the reciept of your several favors. but my situation is so far removed from the seaport towns, that no notice of vessels about to sail ever reminds me of the duty of making these acknolegements; and so they lie over from month to month, until my own conscience is at length smitten by the delay. even at this moment I know...
18Thomas Jefferson to David Bailie Warden, 28 March 1811 (Jefferson Papers)
Your letter of the 18 th gives me the hope you have recieved that which I had taken the liberty of putting under your care for M. Tracy : and the further hope also that those I now inclose for M de de Tessé M. de la Fayette & mr Walsh may reach you in time. M de de Tessé I believe you know is the aunt of

21Thomas Jefferson to David Bailie Warden, 24 November 1818 (Jefferson Papers)
Age and declining health have very much disabled me from the duties of correspondence, or your several kind favors should not have been unacknoleged. I am just now recovering from an illness of 3. months, and have hardly yet taken my place at the writing table. so uneasy indeed have the labors of that become from these causes that I have been obliged to retire from all general correspondence....
22Thomas Jefferson to David Bailie Warden, 6 June 1817 (Jefferson Papers)
Your several favors of July 12. 14. & Aug. 9. with the invoices of the books, in the purchase and dispatch of which you were so kind as to take a part, and the books themselves have been all safely recieved.
