1621From Thomas Jefferson to Albert Gallatin, 30 January 1809 (Jefferson Papers)
Walden’s petition to carry 30. new negroes from Charleston to N. Orleans, may I think be granted; and if their real destination be a foreign port, so much the better. What do you think of Gelston’s proposition to consider all shipments from the town of Jersey as suspicious, for a while? If the French privateer La Fortune should be found to have the money on board, she will be detained &...
1622From Thomas Jefferson to Albert Gallatin, 1 February 1809 (Jefferson Papers)
These recommenders are such good men that I think it will be best to make the nomination at once if the Senators & delegates know nothing to the contrary. will you be so good as to consult them? NHi : Papers of Albert Gallatin.
1623To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 2 February 1809 (Jefferson Papers)
I enclose the list of nominations for collectors &a. in Massachussets, and also for Providence & Champlain. There is a vacancy in New Jersey; & probably two more will occur. But as some time must elapse before we can act on these, I think it best that the others should not on that account be delayed. Respectfully Your obedt. Servt. I have omitted in the list. Isaac Carter of Massts. Surveyor...
1624To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 4 February 1809 (Jefferson Papers)
Since I saw you, I have received the two enclosures—one from Hodge Surveyor of Newbury port, a federalist who had always done his duty and whom we meant to preserve—the other from Little a moderate federalist who confirms the bad character of Cogswell & speaks in favour of Marquand whom Gen. Dearborn had originally recommended as Collector—You had concluded to keep Cross the collector some...
1625To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 13 February 1809 (Jefferson Papers)
I do not recollect that any application was made by Mr Fitzhugh in behalf of his son. There is not however any vacancy in my office, nor do I think it probable that any will soon occur; for, on account of the encrease of business arising from the embargo, I engaged an additional clerk last summer; and there will be of course one more than is necessary when the embargo is repealed. You may...
1626To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 15 February 1809 (Jefferson Papers)
The repeated neglects on the part of Mr Neufville Comr. of loans for S. Carolina to render his accounts, as stated in the written memorandum from the Comptroller’s office, render a delinquency probable & a removal necessary. The enclosed letter from Mr Gaillard contains the names of several persons recommended for successors. Respectfully submitted DNA : RG 59—LAR—Letters of Application and...
1627To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 15 February 1809 (Jefferson Papers)
Van Pradelles register is dead Persons recommended Grymes dist. atty. with 600 dollars only Robertson Secy. 2000 dollars & Commr. Johnson— Lewis judge & Commisr. I think that Grymes is entitled to the preference; for if Robertson be appointed & Grymes made Commr. in his place, it will be a mere temporary appointmt. and Robertson would have two better permanent offices. The Register &...
1628From Thomas Jefferson to Albert Gallatin, 22 February 1809 (Jefferson Papers)
Have you obtained the name & character of the son of Made. Bonneville? I believe there remains a single vacancy of a Cadet. it seems extremely difficult to say what had best be done as to militia at N. London. I am assured that if I designate a militia officer there, the legislature now meeting, will immediately remove him. perhaps the proper way to ensure an effectual enforcement would be...
