1Thomas Jefferson to Archibald Thweatt, 25 February 1810 (Jefferson Papers)
Your’s of the 16 th is recieved, and I am delighted with the sight of the probat of Reuben Skelton’s will. nothing had ever given me such a fit of the horrors as the idea of settling an account of the administration of Reuben Skelton’s estate. I see no necessity now for the search proposed into mr Wayles’s papers of which this I believe was the chief object. I am obliged to be in Bedford on...

Your letter dated Oct. 26. but I presume for Nov. 26. came here during my absence in Bedford in December, and this is the first moment I have been able to reply to it. I am sorry it is not in my power to give you any information of the account of Farrel & Jones against mr Eppes . I do not know that I ever saw it, nor had I any information ever from him respecting it. I remember only to have...

Yours of Dec. 3. came during an absence of between 5. & 6 weeks in Bedford , which is the cause of my being so late in answering it. I now inclose you the pamphlet you ask for. it is the only copy I have, & is kept for my own use, so I must ask the return of it when you are done with it. I had it printed principally to put a copy into the hands of every member of Congress , & if I had supposed...

6Thomas Jefferson to Archibald Thweatt, 3 July 1812 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favors of June 16. and 23. came both to hand by our yesterday’s mail. it is another proof of the delays of the post between this and Eppington . the great post lines move rapidly & regularly: but I have ever found the cross posts subject to great delays. I should be very sorry indeed that you should take a trip to Richmond merely for the research I wished: and especially as you have found...

8Thomas Jefferson to Archibald Thweatt, 18 December 1809 (Jefferson Papers)
According to promise I wrote to the clerk of Goochland for a copy of Reuben Skelton’s will. his answer is that there is no such will recorded there, that no administration was granted there, & therefore it is presumed that he was not a resident of that county. I know however that he was a resident of the county at the time of his death. his mansion house was at Elkhill on the Goochland side of...

Your letter of Aug. 19. arrived here the day after I set out for Bedford , from which I have returned but a few days. that of Sep. 9. is since recieved. the pressure of other business accumulated during my absence and that of returning mr Ladd’s report by our first post, have permitted me to consider it but with a limited measure of attention. it is compiled with great care, and equal...
