301To Thomas Jefferson from William Short, 15 August 1790 (Jefferson Papers)
I recieved your letter of July the 1st. some days ago, and in time to comply with its instructions. Two days before, I had understood that there was such a probability of Congress removing to Philadelphia that I had desired M. de la Motte to send your furniture to that place. I have this moment recieved a letter from Rouen which informs me that your effects had arrived there in safety and had...
302To Thomas Jefferson from William Short, 11 February 1789 (Jefferson Papers)
I returned the day before yesterday from Naples. Your letter of the 22d. of Jany. arrived here the same day. I should have been mortified to have learned any circumstance which must give you pain, but I feel an anxiety to which I am not accustomed in learning the severe indisposition of your family. I know well how much you must have suffered on the occasion, and not only the duties of...

304William Short to John Jay, 10 February 1790 (Jefferson Papers)
Since my last an event which has been expected for some time has taken place. On the 4th. inst. the King went to the assembly and addressed them in a speech which I have the honor of inclosing. The object is to put himself at the head as it were of the revolution, and thus to remove all the doubts and fears of its friends and destroy the hopes of those who might wish to bring back the ancient...
305William Short to Thomas Jefferson, 25 August 1815 (Jefferson Papers)
Your kind letter of June 27. was in my absence taken up by my agent at Philadelphia & sent after me. I was then on a visit to the beautiful Lake, called by the French le lac du S t Sacrament & by their successors Lake George . The French showed their good taste in having chosen this to furnish them their holy water. Nothing can be more pure than it is. The fish there are worthy of being...

308To James Madison from William Short, 2 November 1802 (Madison Papers)
I think it a duty I owe myself to repeat some of the observations I made yesterday on the subject of the outfit, before you take the decision of the President thereon. I understood from you that the intention was to allow me according to late usage, one whole & two half outfits. This I beg leave to observe would be taking from me a part of the allowance expressly made to me at Madrid by...
309To Thomas Jefferson from William Short, 30 October 1790 (Jefferson Papers)
I wrote you the day before yesterday by the way of the English Packet. This will not arrive in time for that conveyance unless the English Ambassador should send off a courier for London this evening, in which case I shall ask the favor of him to forward it. It is merely to inform you and to beg you to inform the Secretary of the Treasury that I have recieved at length his letters of Aug. 29....
310To Thomas Jefferson from William Short, 26 March 1789 (Jefferson Papers)
I have not written to you since I left Rome because I have been since that almost constantly in movement. I had the pleasure of recieving at Florence your letter directed to me there. The commission it contained for Genoa, I executed when at that place. My stay there was so short as not to allow me more than time enough to consult two workmen in marble, but as these two own most of the shops...
