I received yours of the 7th of Septr. last only the 10th of June last, and where it had been wandering all that time I am at a loss to know, but no doubt you would think me negligent not to answer you in course.

4From Thomas Jefferson to Alexander McCaul, 19 April 1786 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of Mar. 30. came to hand some days ago, and renewed the recollection of a friendship among the earliest I formed in life, and which neither time nor events have weakened at any moment since.

10From Thomas Jefferson to Alexander McCaul, 12 July 1788 (Jefferson Papers)

I have been not a little mortified by subsequent information from them that...
