1To Thomas Jefferson from William Duval, 12 April 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
Your friendly Disposition towards your Countrymen and Mankind in general encourages me, with the aid of my Friend and neighbour Daniel L. Hylton Esqr., to request a Favour, which I trust will not be improper to grant me. I have several Tracts of Land lying in Virginia in a salutary Part of it and of good Quality; Part of which I wish to sell in France on moderate Terms and will warrant the...
2To Thomas Jefferson from W. Barry Grove, 12 April 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
I am not sufficiently acquainted with the facts and circumstances attending the case of Bayard v Singleton to afford any conclusive information relative to the transactions, or the principles of the Decision; I believe Mr. Johnson was engaged in the cause and will I presume give you the information required on the Subject. In answer to your other Note , I can only say that I do not recollect...
3To Thomas Jefferson from George Hammond, 12 April 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
In answer to your letter of this day, I have the honor of observing that I have no other instructions upon the subject of my communication than such as are contained in the circular dispatch, of which I stated the purport in my letter dated yesterday.

I know that he collected, or secured to be collected, more than one hundred pounds...
5To Thomas Jefferson from Adam Lindsay, 12 April 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
By this time you must think me a very dillitory correspondent.—But unforeseen accidents must plead my excuse.—First the winter set in so severe that it put an entire Stop to the egress and regress of our country people (who by the bye have no Idea of contending against the Elements) so that no produce was brought to market. This raised the value of some articles.—Among those was myrtle wax and...
6To Thomas Jefferson from Nathaniel Macon, 12 April 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
I have been favored with the sight of your two notes of yesterday. As to the case of Bayard and Singleton, I am not sufficiently acquainted with the facts, to give information on the subject. I do not recollect that any suit has been commenced in the courts of North Carolina, where I am acquainted, since the peace by British Subjects or persons who attached themselves to the British arms...
7To Thomas Jefferson from John Steele, [12 April 1792] (Jefferson Papers)
I have considered the subject matter of your enquiries, and have nothing further to communicate, than what my colleague has stated in the foregoing letter. Many instances of the renewal of bonds, and giving bonds for old book debts due to Brittish subjects which were barr’d by limitation, are within my knowledge.—I have the honor to be Sir Your huml. Servant, RC ( DLC ); addressed: “The Honble...
