Cotton The present crisis again draws into consideration the important agricultural production which is the subject of the inclosed pages.

If war is to ensue, or the principle of our non importation law is to be maintained or extended, manufactures are rendered proportionally necessary to our...
4To Thomas Jefferson from Tench Coxe, 17 September 1806 (Jefferson Papers)
I observe that the death of Judge Patterson of New Jersey is announced in the papers of this day.

5To Thomas Jefferson from Tench Coxe, 10 March 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
When I had the honor to write you upon the subject of an appointment, I did it with great reluctance from the numerous suggestions of names & applications that must necessarily embarrass and distress you.

I have this day the honor of your respected favor of the 21st. instant. Permit me to assure you, Sir, that it is a cordial to my bosom, that the observations on naval power, No. 2, promise, in your judgment, public benefit. Our country wants all the zeal of its good citizens to nurse and defend its minor state in a season when the adult nations are so irregular, and excessive; and this is my...

I have the honor to submit to your consideration some reflexions, which have been some time on my mind, the publication of which appears inconvenient. It is not for me to say, whether the principle they exemplify is worthy of adoption, nor what season for such adoption may be fit and proper.
