91Thomas Jefferson to John Graham, 15 July 1810 (Jefferson Papers)
I really shrink for shame from the tax I impose on your goodness respecting my foreign letters. but my inland situation added to the difficulty of the times leaves me with out a resource but in the friendship of the agents of the government, for my European correspondence, a correspondence I try to lessen as much as possible and hope with time to get rid of. in the mean time I am burthensome...
92John Graham to Thomas Jefferson, 11 June 1810 (Jefferson Papers)
I had this Morning the Honor to receive your Letter of the 7 th Inst: requesting that I would send you by the return of Post the Memoire of Moreau de Lislet on the subject of the Batture . This Paper is, I believe, in the hands of the attorney General and agreeably to your directions I have written to him to send it either to you or to me as soon as possible. M r Poydrass no doubt has it; but...
93Thomas Jefferson to John Graham, 7 June 1810 (Jefferson Papers)
Having permission from the Secretary of state to ask a communication of any papers in his office relating to the case of the batture , I will take the liberty of addressing myself to you in the detail to avoid giving him unnecessary trouble.

94John Graham to Thomas Jefferson, 24 May 1810 (Jefferson Papers)
I fear you will be greatly surprised when you hear that the Letter which you sent to me, some months since for General Kosciuzko , is yet in my possession. you stated it to be confidential, and directed it to be sent with our Despatches. Since it came to my hands, no Despatch vessel has been sent to France , nor have we had for our communications to General armstrong , any conveyance which...
95John Graham to Thomas Jefferson, 1 March 1810 (Jefferson Papers)
I had the Honor to receive this Morning your Letter of the 26 th Feb y covering two Packets—the one for General Kosciuszko —the other for M r Short . I know of no safe oppertunity now offering for France ; but I presume we shall have one ere long and I will take care to avail myself of it, to send these Packets in the way you point out. I beg you to beleive, Sir, that so far from being a...
96Thomas Jefferson to John Graham, 26 February 1810 (Jefferson Papers)
The inclosed letter to Gen l Kosciuzko covers a confidential one from myself, as also a letter & bill of exchange from mr Barnes , remitting the profits of his funds in this country. a safe conveyance therefore is all important. I know of none which can be trusted, but such as you may embrace for your public despatches to Gen l Armstrong . will you do me the favor to put it under the same...

98To James Madison from John Graham, 11 September 1809 (Madison Papers)
I was very much surprised this Morning when Mr Smith told me you had not received Genl. Turreau’s Letters—relating to a Vessel which is building at Baltimore, as he says “for the revolted Blacks of St Domingo”—for I was fully persuaded that I put them under Cover to you with the Laws of the last Session which you wrote for. I yet hope that this will turn out to be the case, for I cannot find...

I had the Honor to receive your Letter of the 2d Inst. I shall, as it appears to be your wish, send Judge Spriggs Letter to Mr Rodney. Mr Gallatin has seen Mr Grymes Letter; but does not consider it necessary to remodel his Instructions to the Collectors: The Secretary of State will I beleive write to Mr Grymes to recover Costs in all Cases where it can yet be done, from the owners of the...
