2To Thomas Jefferson from Mann Page, 19 January 1798 (Jefferson Papers)
Since the Rect. of your Letter , which was long in coming to hand, I have seen two most abusive Attacks upon you by Luther Martin. What he seems so positively to deny, viz. the Authenticity of Logan’s Speech & Story I have no doubt may upon proper Enquiry be verified. I have endeavoured, but in vain, to recollect the Source from whence we derived the Information, but I well remember that it...
3To Thomas Jefferson from Mann Page, 2 April 1781 (Jefferson Papers)
I received your Favour of the 28th. ulto. and should have conformed to your Opinion of not commencing any Law Process against Mr. Bell, if he had not, after being apprized of my Application to you for an Order to recover my Horse, rode him on his own private Business into Orange County. But he appeared to have been insolent as well as arbitrary in the Exercise of his Power. I therefore beg the...

This Morning Lieutenant Henry Bell of the third Regiment of Dragoons came to my House with an armed Force, and under your Impress Warrant, granted to Genl. Greene, upon his crossing Dan River, demanded an Entrance into my Stables. I informed him that your Warrant was designed to extend only to those Counties which were then contiguous to the Enemy, and ought not now to be executed in these...

I inclose you a note which I lately received from Mazzei.—Among other objects he has desired me to wind up for him, is the recovering a gun which he left with Mr. Hunter to be mounted for him. If the convenience of your situation to Mr. Hunter will justify me in asking your aid in it, I would trouble you to make the application, and if successful to lodge the gun with Mr. Joseph Jones in...

Mr. Hugh Mercer, the posthumous Son of the late Genl. Mercer, will do me the honour of forwarding this to you. I will shortly make known to you what have been his persuits in Science, and what is his Object in applying to you. His Education commenced with the Study of the Greek and Latin Languages, in which he made some Progress. His chief Attention has been to the Belles Lettres, in which he...

I have to acknolege the receipt of your f[avor] of [Feb.] 13. and […] thank you for the papers it contain[ed.] that of mr Anderson [is so much] […] that I take the liberty of reques[ting you] […] his signature, for which purpose I now inclose it to you.

8From Thomas Jefferson to Mann Page, [16 May 1796] (Jefferson Papers)
I am growing old, and am grown lazy, and particularly [in wri]ting letters. Yet, when any circumstance of business [orders] […] to take up a pen for an old friend, I […] feel the warmth [of earlier] years rekindle in my heart. While writing to you I am (in imagination) at Rosewell, 25 years old, in all the vigour of love and liberty. It is unpleasant that we should have been made, like our...
9From Thomas Jefferson to Mann Page, 2 January 1798 (Jefferson Papers)
I do not know whether you have seen some very furious abuse of me in the Baltimore papers by a mr Luther Martin, on account of Logan’s speech published in the Notes on Virginia. he supposes both the speech & story made by me to support an argument against Buffon. I mean not to enter into a newspaper contest with mr Martin. but I wish to collect, as well as the lapse of time will permit the...
10From Thomas Jefferson to Mann Page, 30 August 1795 (Jefferson Papers)
It was not in my power to attend at Fredericksburg according to the kind invitation in your letter and in that of Mr. Ogilvie. The heat of the weather, the business of the farm to which I have made myself necessary, forbade it; and to give one round reason for all, maturé sanus , I have laid up my Rosinante in his stall, before his unfitness for the road shall expose him faultering to the...
