4From Thomas Jefferson to John Randolph, 19 November 1804 (Jefferson Papers)
I mentioned to you in a cursory way the other evening that before the meeting of Congress I had conferred with my executive associates, on the subject of insults in our harbors, and that we had settled in our own minds what we thought it would be best to do on that subject, which I had thrown into the form of a bill . I meant to have communicated this to you: but on the reference of that part...
5From Thomas Jefferson to John Randolph, 1 December 1803 (Jefferson Papers)
The explanation in your letter of yesterday was quite unnecessary to me. I have had too satisfactory proofs of your friendly regard, to be disposed to suspect any thing of a contrary aspect.

To this step I am induced not by any impression that you, Sir, might be disposed to give such a construction to the terms in question, because a consciousness of your own worth...

The Letters, with which you some considerable Time ago, honourd me, got to Hand ; tho’, from their appearance, their Contents were known to many, before they reach’d the Person, for whom they were intended. The gloomy Cloud, which hung over our public affairs, and the general Suspicion, which prevail’d at that Time, recommended Caution, and prevented my answering them. But, as Matters now are...
