1From Thomas Jefferson to J. A. Gautier, 24 November 1785 (Jefferson Papers)
I received your letter last night and meant to have answered it this morning, but it escaped me. I really am at a loss what to say. I do not consider myself as having any authority to direct the application of the public money except where it relates immediately to my own transactions. My private opinion is that the present bill should be governed by what has been the usual proceeding between...

Of the 2044₶ 16s. 2d. belonging to Mr. Wuibert the son according to the papers which I had the honour of putting into your hands the other day, his father lays claim to 600₶.

I will...

5From Thomas Jefferson to Jean Antoine Gautier, 8 June 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
A Friend of mine having desired me to procure him a watch from Paris, I am led to trouble you with the commission, as well from the circumstance of your having aided me in getting one from Romilly for myself, as because I am glad of an occasion to keep hold on your acquaintance and recollection, which will ever be duly prised by me. Be so good then as to get M. Romilly to make exactly such...

Je Suis très Sensible au Souvenir que vous aves la bonté de me conserver et très reconnoissant de la lettre que vous m’aves fait l’honneur de m’ecrire: Il faut qu’elle ait été retardée puisqu’elle ne m’est parvenue qu’au milieu d’Août.

J’eus l’honneur de répondre au mois d’octobre dernier à la lettre que vous avies pris la peine de m’écrire.

9From Thomas Jefferson to Jean Antoine Gautier, 7 September 1795 (Jefferson Papers)
I received about three weeks ago your private favor of Mar. 24. 95. and also the letters of your house of the same date.

10From Thomas Jefferson to Jean Antoine Gautier, 17 March 1796 (Jefferson Papers)
The papers which you were so kind as to send me with some lately recieved from the Auditor of the US. have enabled me to take up the subject of your accounts with the US. with the state of Virginia, and with myself, and finally to place every article of your debets in the account of the party for whose use the money was paid. To you it matters not in what account you find your monies, if you...
