41To Thomas Jefferson from Caesar Augustus Rodney, 22 May 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
I find by the papers you have arrived safe, & I hope in good health, at Washington, on the day you expected. When I was in Philada. I was informed that Magdalena the Spanish Secretary of Legation had been re-instated in his office & the Ministers reprimanded for his conduct towards him. I trust it is correct, & that Dr Yrujo will ultimately be disgraced. The insolent note of the Captain of the...

Mr. Hay desires the letter of Genl. Wilkinson specified in the inclosed paper from Burr’s counsel, & in the extract from my message. it was in the bundle of papers I gave you, which bundle I supposed you had left with mr Hay. if you did not, will you be so good as to forward to me immediately this particular letter of Oct. 21. that I may judge whether all, or how much of it may be...

I have this moment received your favor of the 12th. inst: & hasten to transmit you by the mail of this day Genl. Wilkinsons letter of the 21st. of October last recd. by you Novr. 25th. agreeably to your desire. Mr. Hay was only left in possession of such papers as were material, for the part of the prosecution.

44From Thomas Jefferson to Caesar Augustus Rodney, 19 June 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
Yours of the 16th. was recieved last night. however much we may feel the want of you in the daily correspondence which of necessity falls upon us from Richmond, yet we much more regret the cause of detention, of the sufficiency of which no parent can doubt. it was unlucky that when I wrote to you for Genl. Wilkinson’s letter of Oct. 21. I did not recollect that there were two of that date, &...
45From Thomas Jefferson to Caesar Augustus Rodney, 22 June 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
I very much suspect that the date of the letter quoted in the message is quoted wrong. the contents are correctly stated & well remembered. I believe it will be necessary for you to send me the whole bundle, unless you can readily lay your hand on the letter substantially agreeing with the message, & on Genl. Wilkinson’s letter to Genl. Smith of the same import. CSmH : Papers of Thomas Jefferson.

47To Thomas Jefferson from Caesar Augustus Rodney, 10 August 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
I received under cover from you, the letter of Robt. Johnson of New York, in which he suggests that a certain Oliver Fields may be a material witness, as to the assemblage on Blennerhassets island. This is an important, but at the same time a delicate point for the production of evidence, unless we know precisely that the witness will swear, & also are confident that Burr & his associates...
48To Thomas Jefferson from Caesar Augustus Rodney, 12 August 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
I enclose you a draught of a cavern lately discovered in Virginia. It was sent to me by Dr. William Boys of Staunton with a request that I would present it to you. Dr. Boys graduated with me. He was formerly of Penna. where the family all remain except himself. They were all whigs, but Dr. Boys married a Miss St. Clair of Staunton Virginia, whose father was a tory & who has for some time...
49From Thomas Jefferson to Caesar Augustus Rodney, 19 August 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
Th: Jefferson returns to mr Rodney his thanks for the drawings of Madison’s & Amen’s caves, which he is glad to recieve; for altho within 25. miles, he has never seen the new cave. he knows nothing of Burr’s trial but from the newspapers, which exhibit strange scenes indeed. it is impossible Congress should not take up that subject. he salutes mr Rodney affectionately.

50From Thomas Jefferson to Caesar Augustus Rodney, 26 August 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
I think I remember that on the question whether the court of one district could have an attachment executed in another to compel the attendance of a witness, you satisfied us it could not. will you have the goodness to give me a formal opinion on that question with as little delay as convenient? I presume it could no more enforce the giving a deposition. an existing case may render necessary a...
