1Thomas Jefferson to James Ogilvie, 4 August 1811 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of May 24. was very long on it’s passage to me. it gave us all pleasure to learn from yourself the progress of your peregrination, and your prospect of approaching rest, for a while, among our Western brethren. of ‘ restfor the body, some, none for the mind .’ to that, action is said to be all it’s joy: and we have no more remarkeable proof of it than in yourself. the newspapers...

3From Thomas Jefferson to James Ogilvie, 23 June 1806 (Jefferson Papers)
As mr Randolph might possibly be from home, & the inclosed in that case be opened by my daughter, I have taken the liberty of putting it under your cover with a request to put it into his own hands. the subject of it is perhaps unknown to my daughter, & may as well continue so. it’s object is to induce mr Randolph to act with coolness & an attention to his situation in this unhappy affair...
4From Thomas Jefferson to James Ogilvie, 22 August 1807 (Jefferson Papers)

5From Thomas Jefferson to James Ogilvie, 31 January 1806 (Jefferson Papers)

7From Thomas Jefferson to James Ogilvie, 20 February 1771 (Jefferson Papers)
I wrote you a line from Wmsburgh last October; but lest that may have miscarried I take this opportunity of repeating what was material in that. On receipt of your letter (and, oh shame! of your only letter) of March 28. 1770. which came not to hand till August we took proper measures for prevailing on the commissary to withdraw his opposition. But lest you should be uneasy in your situation...

Th: Jefferson presents his friendly salutations to mr Ogilvie, & asks his acceptance of an account of Pestalozzi’s method of education which he recieved by last post only from Europe. he has not had a moment to look into the book: but it has obtained some celebrity in Europe, insomuch that mr Mclure, former partner in the store at Milton, has at his own expence engaged a professor, M.
