The inclosed letter came under cover to me from Mde. de Chastellux. As I know not where the Duke de Liancourt is, & have no particular motive for making it the occasion of renewing a slight acquaintance, never valued, I will ask the favor of you to have it handed him. We have no news but the death of Doctr. Gilmer, which happened the night before last. I hear nothing from our assembly. A post...

I received your favor of Oct. 12. by your son, who has been kind enough to visit me here, and from whose visit I have recieved all that pleasure which I do from whatever comes from you, and especially from a subject so deservedly dear to you.

On looking over the papers in my hands, I do not find among them what Mr. Grand calls your private account, nor do I recollect ever to have seen it.

368From Thomas Jefferson to James Lyle, 25 November 1795 (Jefferson Papers)
Mr. Lindsay Coleman called on me yesterday on the transaction which has been the subject of our two last letters. He says it was a matter of Mr. Wayles’s, and that the note in question was given by Mr. Eppes and myself as executors. I cannot recall to my mind one tittle of what he mentions, and the transaction not relating to my private affairs is the reason I made no entry in my books. I have...
