Your generous good heart, and the friendship that existed between you, and my ever lamented husband embolden me to ask you a favour, with the firm confidence it will be granted shou’d my demand be seasonable, as I flatter myself you will find it is. You was an inhabitant of Paris my dear Sir at the time of my first settlement in that large City: I was then the Wife of a man I loved and...

535From Thomas Jefferson to Jean Nicolas Démeunier, 29 April 1795 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of Mar. 30. from Philadelphia came to my hands a few days ago. That which you mention to have written from London has never been received; nor had I been able to discover what had been your fortune during the troubles of France after the death of the king. Being thoroughly persuaded that under all circumstances your conduct had been entirely innocent and friendly to the freedom of...
536To James Madison from Thomas Jefferson, 27 April 1795 (Madison Papers)
Your letter of Mar. 23. came to hand the 7th. of April, and notwithstanding the urgent reasons for answering a part of it immediately, yet as it mentioned that you would leave Philadelphia within a few days, I feared that the answer might pass you on the road. A letter from Philadelphia by the last post having announced to me your leaving that place the day preceding it’s date, I am in hopes...

I sincerely congratulate you on the great prosperities of our two first allies, the French and Dutch....
538From Thomas Jefferson to John Harvie, Jr., 27 April 1795 (Jefferson Papers)
When I visited Richmond the last year I took with me the papers relating to the lands in question between us, with a view to propose a settlement by arbitration as had been agreed between us: but your departure to Goochland the second day after my getting to Richmond prevented my mentioning it to you. The happiness we had of seeing you here some time after, was of too short duration to be...

540From Thomas Jefferson to William Temple, 26 April 1795 (Jefferson Papers)
I wrote some time ago to Colo. Gamble asking a copy of my account with him that I might have it paid. In a letter which he wrote as he was setting out for Philadelphia he informed me you would be so good as to furnish it on application, which favor I now ask of you. He mentioned in the same letter that he was resigning his retail business to you, and meant to add to it the branch of groceries...
