12From Thomas Jefferson to Caesar Augustus Rodney, 12 June 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
Mr. Hay desires the letter of Genl. Wilkinson specified in the inclosed paper from Burr’s counsel, & in the extract from my message. it was in the bundle of papers I gave you, which bundle I supposed you had left with mr Hay. if you did not, will you be so good as to forward to me immediately this particular letter of Oct. 21. that I may judge whether all, or how much of it may be...
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. Wilkinson’s letter of Oct. 21. I did not recollect that there were two of that date, &...
14From Thomas Jefferson to Caesar Augustus Rodney, 22 June 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
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.

16From Thomas Jefferson to Caesar Augustus Rodney, 19 August 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
Th: Jefferson returns to mr Rodney his thanks for the drawings of Madison’s & Amen’s caves, which he is glad to recieve; for altho within 25. miles, he has never seen the new cave. he knows nothing of Burr’s trial but from the newspapers, which exhibit strange scenes indeed. it is impossible Congress should not take up that subject. he salutes mr Rodney affectionately. NHi .
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...
18From Thomas Jefferson to Caesar Augustus Rodney, 18 September 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
Th:J. incloses a paper to mr Rodney to do in it what may be necessary, which he presumes will be, according to the decisions of the judge, nothing! he proposes to be in Washington Octob. 3. affectionate salutations. ViU .
19From Thomas Jefferson to Caesar Augustus Rodney, 8 October 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
Your letters of Sep. 15. & Oct. 1. have been duly recieved & I sincerely congratulate you on the addition to your family announced in the last. the good old book speaking of children says ‘happy is the man who hath his quiver full of them.’ I hope mrs Rodney is doing well, in which case, & whenever her situation will admit your coming on without uneasiness. The approaching convention of...
20From Thomas Jefferson to Caesar Augustus Rodney, 23 October 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
I inclose you the message, and pray you to suggest, on a separate paper, such alterations as you shall think for the better either in the matter or style. I must ask the return of it this evening because mr Coles has to make 4. copies, & will have only two days to do it in. it comes to you thus late, as time was necessary for it to go through the hands of the other gentlemen. Affectte....

22From Thomas Jefferson to Caesar Augustus Rodney, 30 January 1808 (Jefferson Papers)
A consultation is necessary to-day, and as notice could not be given last night, the hour must depend on mr Gallatin’s arrival at his office, he being generally the latest & most uncertain as to his hour. will you be so good as to be within reach at that time? Catalog--Gallery of History.

26From Thomas Jefferson to Caesar Augustus Rodney, 24 April 1808 (Jefferson Papers)
Th: Jefferson returns the inclosed to mr Rodney with thanks for the communication. it is very evident that our embargo, added to the exclusions from the Continent will be most heavily felt in England and Ireland. Liverpool is remonstrating & endeavoring to get the other ports into motion. yet the bill confirming the orders of council is ordered to a 3d. reading, which shews it will pass....
27From Thomas Jefferson to Caesar Augustus Rodney, 20 June 1808 (Jefferson Papers)
It is with great reluctance I break in on the tranquility & happiness you are enjoying in the bosom of your family, by suggesting the necessity of your presence here. immediately on the arrival of mr Gallatin, whom we expect every hour, consultations will be to be held on several matters of great importance, in which we shall be happy to have your aid. add to this that some matters of...

29From Thomas Jefferson to Caesar Augustus Rodney, 27 August 1808 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of the 13th. is recieved. I see no reason against your giving your opinion, in favor of General Allen, to him to be used with the British government. the only doubt I ever entertained on it was that which you mention respecting his bail, and I have not yet seen my way out of that. I inclose you the letter of a M. Mouesay, whose case seems to be as hard a one as I have known. I...
30From Thomas Jefferson to Caesar Augustus Rodney, 28 October 1808 (Jefferson Papers)
The bill referred to in the enclosed is not recieved, but I suppose may be expected hourly. how shall I proceed to have it paid so as to keep the account in the same form, that is to say, still in your name? when shall we have the pleasure and advantage of seeing you here? Affectionate salutations. DLC : Papers of Thomas Jefferson.
31From Thomas Jefferson to Caesar Augustus Rodney, 8 December 1808 (Jefferson Papers)
I imagine you will have recieved a reference from the H. of R. which will require your return to this place. several other matters of importance have been waiting for you. I inclose you a presentment of a grand jury here against a worthless gambler of the name of Bailey, who lives in Baltimore, for an assault on mr Coles my Secretary, on account of an act of duty on the part of mr Coles.

33Thomas Jefferson to Caesar A. Rodney, 16 March 1815 (Jefferson Papers)
Your letter of Feb. 19 . has been recieved with very sincere pleasure. it recalls to memory the sociability, the friendship, and harmony of action which united personal happiness with public duties, during the portion of our lives in which we acted together. indeed the affectionate harmony of our Cabinet is among the sweetest of my recollections.

34Thomas Jefferson to Caesar A. Rodney, 7 October 1818 (Jefferson Papers)
A long absence from home, my dear friend, and long indisposition since my return, must apologise for this late and short acknolegement of your favor of Aug. 8 . I am on the recovery, but not yet able to set up to write but in pain. I can therefore only return you thanks for the communications of your letter, which strengthen my hopes that our Southern brethren may be able to do as we have...
35Thomas Jefferson to Caesar A. Rodney, 2 January 1820 (Jefferson Papers)
Your’s of Dec. 19. is recieved. a letter from an antient friend and fellow-laborer in good works is like refreshing showers to a thirsty plant. when the pleasures of prospect are shut up to advanced life, those of retrospect are it’s remaining comfort. and the times into which we fell, and the scenes and trials we have gone thro’ together, afford abundant matter to employ retrospection, and to...
36Thomas Jefferson to Caesar A. Rodney, 9 October 1820 (Jefferson Papers)
Your’s of the 1 st is recieved, and I note your recommendation of mr Askew , to whom I should be glad to be useful, as well on account of your recommendation as of his merit. but our work has been done entirely by undertakers, bricklayers at 10.D. a thousand, & house carpenters at the Philada prices. so that we have nothing to do with the daily laborers, or any body but the Undertaker. I wish...
37Thomas Jefferson to Caesar A. Rodney, 28 July 1822 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of July 10. has been recieved. the view therein taken of the impossibility of the fact charged by the Native Virginian is certainly conclusive; but I believe we may leave that calumniator to the judgment of the world. The public papers have announced you r mission to Buenos Ayres , but the silence of your letter on the subject is at least not confirmative of it. I sincerely wish...

Your favor of Mar. 18. has been duly recieved, and in it the copy of Gov r M c kaim’s letter. what he says of your respectable uncle is all true, and I within my own recollection. his memory has failed him in some other particulars of no importance. he has confoundd two distinct votes and blended together the transactions on them as if on one, to wit the vote on the Virga proposn to declare...
