1From Thomas Jefferson to John Trumbull, 21 June 1789 (Jefferson Papers)
My letter of the 18th. promised that I would inclose you a bill of exchange, which I now do for the sum of £12. sterling to discharge my balance to you and pay a subscription for a copy of your print of Gibraltar. I have not yet received my Congé, but live in daily hopes of it. I am Dear Sir Your friend & servt., PrC ( DLC ).
2From Thomas Jefferson to John Trumbull, 3 August 1789 (Jefferson Papers)
Not knowing the address of Messieurs Ingram, and the inclosed letter covering a bill of exchange I take the liberty of asking you to have them found out, and the letter delivered.—No time to write news, but that all is quiet here. Your’s affectionately, PrC ( DLC ). Enclosure: TJ to Messrs. Robert & Hugh Ingram , this date.
3From Thomas Jefferson to John Trumbull, 20 November 1786 (Jefferson Papers)
I begin to write a little with my right hand but with much pain. I can therefore only acknolege the receipt of your letter from London, and pray you to deliver the inclosed. My hand mends so slowly that I am advised by the faculty to go to the waters of Aix in Provence. If I do you will hear from me. I am with sincere esteem Dr. Sir Your friend & servant, PrC ( DLC ); endorsed. Enclosure: TJ...
4From Thomas Jefferson to John Trumbull, 9 November 1788 (Jefferson Papers)
I wrote you on the 1st. instant. A hope that the present may reach you before Mr. Payne the bookseller sends off his package of books, induces me to pray you to send me at the same time 4. ream of 4to. copying paper of the best and whitest quality from Woodmason stationer Leadenhall. This can come packed in the same box with the books. I have no news from America since early in September. The...
5From Thomas Jefferson to John Trumbull, 2 July 1788 (Jefferson Papers)
In mine of the 29th. June by the last post I inclosed you Mr. Grand’s letter of credit for £80. on Mr. Teissier. By your favor of the 25th. handed me to-day by Mr. Parker I see there is a probability that the carriage you had in view will not have been disposed of before the letter of credit reaches you, so that the opportunity of making the purchase will not be lost. I consulted with Mr....
6From Thomas Jefferson to John Trumbull, 16 September 1789 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favors of the 7th. and 11th. are duly received, and your attention to the article of my passage acknoleged with thankfulness. In fact, London seems my only resource, as there is nothing in any port of France which could answer my purpose. The vessel from Virginia to Havre, which you mention was certainly not arrived there on the 12th.—With respect to the Clermont Capt. Colley, the...
7From Thomas Jefferson to John Trumbull, 24 August 1788 (Jefferson Papers)
I have duly received your favor of the 15th. and accede to the proposition of the young workman to make me as good a carriage for £105. as the shops furnish at 130£. I would wish it to be 3 feet 8. inches wide within, a strapontin to unship and ship as may be wanting, the steps to shut within, a box to take in and out, coachman’s seat to ship and unship readily, mortise locks, venetian blinds,...
8From Thomas Jefferson to John Trumbull, 3 March 1788 (Jefferson Papers)
Being obliged to set out for Holland at a very few hours warning I have only time to notify you that I shall be absent hence three or four weeks. I trouble you with a letter on which I know not how to put any address particular enough to find the gentleman who is at Edinburgh. If you can supply it by enquiry and forward it, I will be obliged. My affection to our two friends Mrs. Church and...
9From Thomas Jefferson to John Trumbull, 10 September 1788 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favors of the 2d. and 6th. inst. are duly received. You conjectured rightly that by ‘vallons’ I meant festoon curtains. The term is well understood by the upholsterers. The Venetian blind and large backlight to let up and down are essential in a hot climate. I would desire no Imperial, and only one trunk, and that to go behind. Brass harness for four horses. These are for country use, and...
10From Thomas Jefferson to John Trumbull, 16 March 1789 (Jefferson Papers)
I wrote you by yesterday’s post. The present is merely to avail myself of a private conveiance which occurs to London to send you my American dispatches and pray you to forward them by the first safe conveiance to New York preferably to any other port. Vessels going to Philadelphia have to go up the river, a navigation of many days. Those going to Boston expose us to as long an intermediate...
