Since I last took the liberty to address you I received a certificate from Dr. Rush. The certificate I have sent to Mr. Smith; and here send for your consideration a true copy of it. With the highest respect I have the honor to be yr. ob. Servt. MHi : Coolidge Collection.
3To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Beale Ewell, 9 November 1805 (Jefferson Papers)
Dr. Ewell takes the liberty to enclose for his Excellency Mr. Jefferson a copy of Dr. Hartshorne’s inaugural Essay. Should the President not be disposed to read the whole—between the 28th and last pages he will find those experiments related which shew how destructive the Oxygenated M. acid is to animals, and the consequent danger attendent on its use, as advised by the French chemists. MHi :...
4To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Beale Ewell, 9 December 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
Doctor Ewell offers his respects to the President: Having lately purchased a most valuable work of the Surgeon, of whose writings Mr. Jefferson has expressed favorable sentiments—he takes the liberty to send it for inspection. He does this the more readily, as the work is not only admitted to be the best of its kind, but contains (particularly the 2d. vol.) important doctrines—an acquaintance...
5To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Beale Ewell, 13 July 1806 (Jefferson Papers)
Several days since I returned by mail to your Excellency, Mr. Adets work,—stating that ere long I hoped to present a copy of my discourses on chemistry. These discourses being written, and more than one thousand subscribers being annexed to my lists, in consequence of your letter in my prospectus, it is incumbent on me to have them printed as early as possible. I delay the commencement only...
6To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Beale Ewell, 19 February 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
I beg good Sir, that you would not be displeased at my troubling you again—as my excuse is, nearly my all is at stake—and my hope is, I shall trouble you no more. Since the conversation with which you last favored me—I have been informed that without fail Doctr. Bullus, is to leave Washington in a short while. It is scarcely necessary to remind yr. Excellency, that the office the Doctor now...
7To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Beale Ewell, 17 May 1806 (Jefferson Papers)
Shortly after your Excellency left Washington, the Secretary of the navy informed me that I was appointed to supply the place of Doctr. Bullers at the Garrison. Since then he told me that in consequence of late intelligence received, Dr. Bullers would continue to hold the place he now occupies & that of course I could not be stationed in the city. Altho my expectations be thus disappointed, my...
8From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Beale Ewell, 30 August 1805 (Jefferson Papers)
I thank you for the pamphlet you have been so kind as to send me, and shall read it with pleasure in the first leisure moment. how far a general work on chemistry is yet to be desired you are more able to judge than I am. but of the importance of turning a knolege of chemistry to houshold purposes I have been long satisfied. the common herd of philosophers seem to write only for one another....
9To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Beale Ewell, 10 September 1805 (Jefferson Papers)
The letter of the 30th ulto with which you honored me, came duly to hand. I submitted it to the perusal of my father. His heart swell’d with grateful feelings, on reading the generous mention you made of him—while your condescension served to encrease his exalted opinion of your worth, as well as to excite the warmest emotions of friendship. I will not pretend to convey my feelings on the...
10From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Beale Ewell, 15 June 1808 (Jefferson Papers)
I see with real concern the situation in which you are placed, and fear you do not form a true judgment of it yourself. you are charged by certain persons with improper acts. the Secretary of the Navy is in duty bound to have the charge investigated. you decline attending that investigation. the consequence will be that innocent things may be made appear otherwise, merely for want of...
