531To Thomas Jefferson from Tench Coxe, 16 March 1794 (Jefferson Papers)
Since I had the honor to write you last the inclosed have been delivered to me by a person, who received them from Europe. They were not accompanied by a letter, but were said to have come from the Editor. Last Evenings post brought us the information from London under date of the 20th. Decemr. in Fenno’s Gazette. It has added greatly to the former sensations on the Subject of the depredations...

Mr. Stephen Kingston, a merchant of this city, by birth an Irishman, but now a citizen of the U. S. has applied to me on a subject, which he refrains, for a time, to act upon from public Considerations. The prizemaster of one of the prizes taken by “ the Citizen Genet ” privateer is a debtor to him. He wishes to arrest the man, but is apprehensive, that it may produce some public difficulty:...
533To Thomas Jefferson from Tench Coxe, 5 November 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
I have the honor to inform you that a distribution of the first parcel of the Sea-letters, which was sent to my office after that of the Secretary of the Treasury ceased to be attended, was immediately made, in the best manner of which my defective information of the preceding distributions, admitted. The greater part of the Second parcel was treated in a similar Manner, and the remainder I...

535To Thomas Jefferson from Tench Coxe, 23 July 1790 (Jefferson Papers)
Mr. Matthew Carey of Philadelphia wishes for the honor of conversing with you on the republication of the several treaties of the United States. Tho he cannot expect to insert them in his Museum by your Authority , he justly conceives it of great importance that they be strictly true copies. I proposed to have done myself the honor of waiting upon you with him to ask for him the favor of such...
536Enclosure: Thoughts on the Navigation of the United States, and concerning further means of encouraging it, 5 March 1791 (Jefferson Papers)
The following propositions are freely hazarded by way of opening the subject. None of them should be tenaciously insisted on, nor will they it is hoped be hastily rejected. If on reflexion they shall appear reasonable and safe, they may serve to guide us in this interesting and difficult enquiry. It is affirmed then— If the members of the legislature from the several parts of the union should...
537To Thomas Jefferson from Tench Coxe, 31 May 1794 (Jefferson Papers)
I had learned from Mr. Maddison and Mr. Monroe the delay of all letters to you before I had the honor to receive your acknowledgment of those I have written to you at Montecello. Your agricultural pursuits must be a delightful recreation after the fatigue, vexations, and nonsense of city life and public station. The subject is very captivating in the theory, and it is so peculiarly interesting...
538To Thomas Jefferson from Tench Coxe, 30 July 1795 (Jefferson Papers)
I have postponed to answer the letter you did me the honor to write last untill I should have found a good opportunity to forward your pacquets to Mr. Monroe, and M. Van Staphorsts & Co. They went, about two weeks ago, in an American Ship, and were committed to the care of a Mr. Murgatroyd of Philadelphia. He is a young [man] of good connexions here, and I doubt not will place them in the...
539To Thomas Jefferson from Tench Coxe, 14 December 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
Necessary attention in my Office, and the badness of the day preventing me from having the honor of waiting upon you as early as the case requires, I take the liberty to draw your attention to a little inaccuracy which has inadvertently taken place in the President’s proclamation of the 12th. Instant. You will perceive that in promising the reward of 500 dollars, it is offered for “the above...
540To Thomas Jefferson from Tench Coxe, 19 July 1791 (Jefferson Papers)
Mr. Coxe has the honor to make his acknowledgements to Mr. Jefferson for Sir John St. Clair’s pamphlet—the last nine lines of which are as free from reason and as full of passion as anything in Lord Sheffield. The little publication relative to Scotland is curious, and in parts interesting even to the United States. Mr. Coxe begs leave to add a few facts relative to the dutch commercial...
