1From Thomas Jefferson to Adam Lindsay, 22 June 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
This being the first moment since the rising of Congress, that it has been in my power to take up my private letters wanting answers, I make it my first duty to acknolege the receipt of yours of Apr. 12. and the two casks of cyder by Capt. Tatem, and to inclose a bill of 6 ⅔ dollars which with the 24 ½ dollars in my letter of Apr. 9. make up the amount. I pray you to accept my thanks for your...
2From Thomas Jefferson to Adam Lindsay, 9 April 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
I acknoleged to you the receipt of the three boxes of candles soon after they came to hand. The desire expressed in your letter that I should not forward the cost till the arrival of another parcel which you expected would follow the other soon, prevented my sending you a bill for the amount. Presuming that some accident has prevented the second parcel, I think myself no longer justifiable in...
3From Thomas Jefferson to Adam Lindsay, 20 December 1791 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of the 4th. inst. came duly to hand as did also the 3. boxes of candles by capt. Johnston. I shall, as you desire, await the remaining 110 ℔ to remit you the cost of the whole in one bill. I shall thank you to keep in mind my request for the Hughes’s crab cyder of the best quality. It is in high esteem here. I rejoice to hear of the daily increase of Norfolk, being satisfied that...
4From Thomas Jefferson to Adam Lindsay, 15 September 1791 (Jefferson Papers)
Your kindness in offering to execute any little matters for me in your place, will perhaps induce me to trouble you annually, during my residence in Philadelphia for the two articles of Myrtle wax candles, and Hughes’s crab cyder, which can be got no where else. I will now ask the favor of you to procure for me, in the proper seasons 250. њ of myrtle wax candles, moulded, and of the largest...
5From Thomas Jefferson to Adam Lindsay, 10 June 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
I received a considerable time ago your favor of Feb. 26. The croud of business which follows for some time after the close of Congress, and then my removal from the city into the country which has for a while put my papers out of their place, has prevented my performing earlier the duty of acknoleging it and remitting you for the candles which came safely to hand. I now inclose you a bank...
6From Thomas Jefferson to Adam Lindsay, 10 September 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of the 27th. came duly to hand, and I have to thank you for the intelligence it contained. I meant to have asked the continuance of it, but that I am likely to leave this place a little sooner than I had intended. You will have heard of an infectious and mortal disease which has broken out in this city. There was a hope till lately that it might have been prevented spreading....
7From Thomas Jefferson to Adam Lindsay, 4 November 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
I must now repeat to you my annual sollicitation to procure and send me 200 ℔ myrtle wax candles. I do not know whether the mixing tallow with the wax be absolutely necessary. If not, I would wish them of the pure wax; but if some mixture be necessary, then as little as will do. We have received official applications from the Mayor and municipality of Marseilles to the President of the U.S....
8From Thomas Jefferson to Adam Lindsay, 17 March 1791 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of the 4th. inst. has been duly recieved, as also the box you were so kind as to take care of and send hither. It was from Mr. W. Nelson and containd books for public use. Accept my thanks for your attention to it. Your friendly offer of service at Norfolk induces me to trespass on you by asking the favor of you to procure for me about 100℔ of myrtle wax candles, which I understood...
9From Thomas Jefferson to Adam Lindsay, 15 April 1791 (Jefferson Papers)
I recieved last night your favour of the 7th. instant inclosing the note for 54. ℔. myrtle wax candles. I thank you for your kind attention to this little commission, and now inclose you a bank post note for eleven dollars sixty cents the amount of the candles and box. This post note will be paid by any collector of the customs. The parcel you now send me will serve as a trial, as I never used...
