4To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Walker and Others, 13 September 1775 (Jefferson Papers)
After a very disagreeable, wet and fateagueing Journey, we got here on the 10th Inst. the day appointed for opening the Treaty, but found scarcely any Indians here. We have dispatched runners to meet them and hope they will be in soon. We are told that the Shawnese and Delawares are on their way, but can not hear a tittle of the Wiandotts, from which circumstance ’tis feared that they have...
5To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Walker, [19 January 1790] (Jefferson Papers)
Mr. Nicholas transacted the business of the estate many years after I had quitted it. I know of no debts due from the estate except a little to myself, nor any to it. The two years you were at the college, I know of no charge which ought to be against you. The two years you studied under Mr. Wythe my opinion is that your expences ought not to have exceeded £125. per year. As well as I remember...
6To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Walker, 7 June 1790 (Jefferson Papers)
I am at a loss how to proceed respecting a grant of 8000 acres of Land made under the regal government to your Father and myself on the western waters. It has been surveyed and the Plats &c. offered to the Register of the Land office several years ago. He refused to receive them, supposing he was not authorised to do so.

8To James Madison from Thomas Walker, 29 December 1815 (Madison Papers)
With the utmost possible deferrence I address Your Excellency which would not have been presumed but for the despotic law of necessity. A fortnight since a petition was transmitted to your Excellency on behalf of your very humble servant, paying [ sic ] a pardon and liberation from a New York Prison where he is confined at the suit of unprovoked maliciousness for having casually without...
9From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Walker and Daniel Smith, 29 January 1780 (Jefferson Papers)
As we propose this Spring to take possession of and fortify some post as near the mouth of Ohio as the ground will admit, it becomes very important for us to know the exact latitude thereabouts. I take it for granted that your present Line will be stopped before you get there by unpurchased Lands. We therefore wish extremely that one of you would take a trip to the mouth of the Ohio with your...
