11To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Mann Randolph, Jr., 14 March 1791 (Jefferson Papers)
Altho the letter carrier between Charlottesville and Richmond is continued in his employment, the conveyance is extremely irregular. He has no fixed day of departure from his own habitation which is about 15 miles from Charlotteslle. but sets out as it suits him on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, and keeps the letters in his hands frequently 3 days after his return. When the Weather is bad he...
12To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Pinckney, 2 May 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
Having already written by this opportunity I have only to request the favor of you to forward the inclosed. The accounts you will see in the last news papers of the destruction of Marat, Robertspierre and other leaders of the Jacobine party in Paris and of french troops being landed in Jersey are without foundation. I have the honor to be with great respect Dear Sir Your faithful and obedient...
13To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Pinckney, 10 February 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
This will convey to you the assurance of my sincere regret on being informed by your favor of the 8th. of November that you purpose relinquishing your situation at the head of the department of State. I truly lament the loss the public will suffer from your retirement but I must confess myself selfish enough to feel most sensibly the apprehension of the removal of those kind attentions and...
14To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Mifflin, 7 July 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
In consequence of the request contained in a letter from the Secretary at War , I instituted an enquiry, respecting the equipment of the Little Sarah, as an armed vessel, in this Port; and as she will probably sail this day, I am anxious to receive a communication from the officers of the Federal Government on the Subject. I have dispatched a messenger to Genl. Knox, requesting an interview;...
15To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Mann Randolph, Jr., 9 April 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
I trouble you with two other letters for the British packet which I beg the favor of you to have included in the first mail for England. We have no news from home to send you but of the Orchard in which the hares have lately done much damage.—While writing I am informed that Gilmer is much better and am pleased that I have it in my power to tell you of his illness and recovery at the same...
16To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Auldjo, 7 November 1790 (Jefferson Papers)
I had the honour to write to you 4th instant to which I beg leave to refer you. Since then I have received the paper inclosed from Mr. Aust which I beg to submit to your Consideration. I have not received any answer to my letter to the Duke of Leeds, therefore I conclude that they consider the note from Mr. Aust a reply to it. They say that if my appointment was for the Port of Poole and...
17To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Auldjo, 20 March 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
Cowes, 20 Mch. 1793. He encloses an account of the imports and exports of American ships within his district from 1 July to 31 Dec. 1792, hoping it will suffice, even though it is not so correct as he could wish because his unpaid agents in the outlying ports lack incentive to be very exact, and ship captains sometimes refuse to show their papers and detail their cargoes. The ambassador will...
18To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Pinckney, 29 November 1791 (Jefferson Papers)
If the nomination and appointment mentioned to me in your favor of the 6th of this Month should take place I will endeavor to execute the duties of the mission to the best of my ability. In thus explicitly declaring my acquiescence in the honor conferred by this mark of confidence I fear I have rather complyed with my desire of being useful, than consulted the means of being so; and I trust I...
19To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Pinckney, 25 September 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
In consequence of your favor of 15 March concerning M. La Fayette I renewed to the Prussian Minister here in an authorised stile the application I had before unofficially made to him in behalf of our unfortunate friend, declaring the interest taken by the United States in his welfare and suggesting the obligation his liberation would confer. I was hopeful that before this time I should have...
20To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Mann Randolph, Jr., 31 May 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
A report of your having resigned your office is in circulation here and receives great credit from us mostly perhaps because we wish to have it so but considerably too from our not having received letters as usual by the two last posts: we conclude that the hurry of preparing for your departure and the expectation of seeing us soon have prevented your writing. We are strongly impressed with...
