13From Thomas Jefferson to Caesar Augustus Rodney, 19 June 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
Yours of the 16th. was recieved last night. however much we may feel the want of you in the daily correspondence which of necessity falls upon us from Richmond, yet we much more regret the cause of detention, of the sufficiency of which no parent can doubt. it was unlucky that when I wrote to you for Genl.

I very much suspect that the date of the letter quoted in the message is quoted wrong. the contents are correctly stated & well remembered. I believe it will be necessary for you to send me the whole bundle, unless you can readily lay your hand on the letter substantially agreeing with the message, & on Genl. Wilkinson’s letter to Genl. Smith of the same import. CSmH : Papers of Thomas Jefferson.

17From Thomas Jefferson to Caesar Augustus Rodney, 26 August 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
I think I remember that on the question whether the court of one district could have an attachment executed in another to compel the attendance of a witness, you satisfied us it could not. will you have the goodness to give me a formal opinion on that question with as little delay as convenient? I presume it could no more enforce the giving a deposition. an existing case may render necessary a...
