1To Thomas Jefferson from Hugh Rose, enclosing Affidavits respecting Jefferson’s Orders for Militia, 26 September 1781 (Jefferson Papers)
Herewith you will receive my Affidavit with my Certificate agreeable to your Request in your Favour by Jupiter.

2From Thomas Jefferson to Hugh Rose, 2 July 1791 (Jefferson Papers)
I duly received your favor of May 15. by Mr. Chandler, and meant to have returned the answer by him but that he took his route by the way of New York.—I should with great pleasure now send you in writing my opinion on the question you stated to me, but that I have really entirely forgotten it.
