1Joseph C. Cabell to Thomas Jefferson, 23 July 1810 (Jefferson Papers)
I have had the honor of receiving the friendly & obliging letter which you wrote me on the 27th of last month , together with the one enclosed, from Judge Cooper of Pennsylvania , to yourself, of 10 th of May : & I feel some anxiety of mind least the tardiness of my reply, m to you, may be the cause of procrastinating yours to Judge Cooper much longer than may be agreeable to you. But as I did...
2Joseph C. Cabell to Thomas Jefferson, 12 January 1813 (Jefferson Papers)
I have received your favor of 5 th ins t relative to the subject of the petition of the Rivanna Company . You may rest assured that I shall pay the most pointed attention to this business, and do every thing in my power to guard your rights from invasion. I immediately held a preliminary conversation with my friend Johnson , after which I waited on M r Barber Barbour , & obtained the use of...
3Joseph C. Cabell to Thomas Jefferson, 17 February 1813 (Jefferson Papers)
I have been prevented by business of late, from writing you respecting the fate of the Bill founded on the petition of the Rivanna River company . The Bill as it came up to the Senate contained merely a proviso saving private rights. M r Johnson drafted two amendments, one requiring that the tolls should be collected at the Locks, & only on what passed should pass thro’ them, so long as the...
4Joseph C. Cabell to Thomas Jefferson, 29 November 1813 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of 7 th inst covering an abstract of the Bill respecting yourself & the Rivanna River C o , did not get to Warminster , till nearly a fortnight after I had left home for the lower country: and it was not untill the 26 th inst that I received it at this place. This will account for the delay of my answer; as well as for my not calling at Monticello on my way down, agreeably to your...
5Joseph C. Cabell to Thomas Jefferson, 8 December 1813 (Jefferson Papers)
I expected when I wrote you from Williamsburg , that my Servant would have come up with me from that place on the 5 th inst; but one of my horses being unavoidably detained, I was compelled to leave him behind; & was consequently disappointed, for the moment, in sending him on with your books. I was only waiting for his arrival, when to-day, I fell in with Gen l Moore , who told me he should...

The last mail from Charlottesville brought me your letter of 17 th inst: accompanied by your three letters to m r Eppes on the subject of the ways & means of carrying on the war.

7Joseph C. Cabell to Thomas Jefferson, 5 February 1814 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of 31 st ult has come to hand, and I am happy to learn from it that your books arrived in safety. The free communication of your opinion upon the subject of the alledged Right of the Gen l Assembly to annex additional qualifications to the members of the House of Representatives of Congress , places me under great obligations. Your letter did not get to hand before the subject was...
8Joseph C. Cabell to Thomas Jefferson, 6 March 1814 (Jefferson Papers)
I have got thus far on my way home, and entrust to the neighbouring post office, your letters on Finance, which I hope will safely reach you. I must beg your pardon for having detained them longer than the period of my engagement. My private business in the lower country took up much more time than I had anticipated, and I was compelled to keep your letters thus long in order thoroughly to...
9Joseph C. Cabell to Thomas Jefferson, 17 September 1814 (Jefferson Papers)
The dangers of our country will be my apology for troubling you with this letter. I wish to draw your attention to the important subject of our financial difficulties, & particularly those which will present themselves to the Gen l Assembly at its next session: and to sollicit the favor of you to put me in possession of any hints, or plans which you may think adapted to the crisis. I went to...

Your favor of 23 d Sep r reached me before I left home: that of 30 th since I came to this place. I have already given & shall continue to give to those letters the fullest consideration in my power. We have as yet settled upon no plan of finance or defence: & are waiting to hear the plans of congress . Our difficulties are great & encreasing. Your idea of issuing state certificates ought, & I...
