342To Thomas Jefferson from William Short, 30 December 1791 (Jefferson Papers)
My last was written a few days previous to my leaving Paris for this place, whither I have supposed it proper I should come on account of the loans negotiating here and at Antwerp.

346To Thomas Jefferson from William Short, 17 March 1788 (Jefferson Papers)
I cannot let the post go off without sending you some intelligence of your little family at the convent. Few words will convey it as there is only to say that they are all perfectly well.
