1To James Madison from James Monroe, 6 July 1805 (Madison Papers)
Since my letter of the 30th. ulto. some facts have come to my knowledge which it may be of advantage to you to know. I have been told that mister T—D has replied when pres[s]ed to aid the negotiation at Madrid that it could not be expected of him as a project of a very different character countenanced by our agent meaning mister L—N was before our government—this fact is unquestionable, as I...

§ From Sylvanus Bourne. 6 July 1805, Amsterdam. “I have this day been honored by your favr of the 28h May & I hasten to reply thereto that although I have not copies of my letters which Mr Damon refers to in his publication I believe them generally correct.

3To James Madison from William C. C. Claiborne, 6 July 1805 (Abstract) (Madison Papers)
§ From William C. C. Claiborne. 6 July 1805, New Orleans. “On the third Instant the Legislative Council was pror[o]gued Sine die, and I have the Honor to enclose for your perusal a Copy of a Short address which I made on the occasion.

4To James Madison from Harry Toulmin, 6 July 1805 (Abstract) (Madison Papers)
§ From Harry Toulmin. 6 July 1805, Fort St. Stephen’s, Mississippi Territory. “Some time since, previously to my leaving the state of Kentucky, I observed a statement in the National Intelligencer, of my having been appointed to the office of receiver of public monies on the east side of Pearl river. Not receiving any personal information of the kind, I regarded it only as a mistake in the...

6To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Appleton, 6 July 1805 (Jefferson Papers)
My last respects were in date of the 1st. of May by a vessel bound to New York, on board of which I have shipped ten Cases of Montepulciano wine, to the care of Mr. Gelston Collector for that port.—By much accident I very lately became acquainted, that Madam Fabroni of florence had receiv’d a letter from Madam Cerrachi at Vienna, describing the deplorable condition she was in, burthen’d with...

The Skins had been...
8To Thomas Jefferson from DeWitt Clinton, 6 July 1805 (Jefferson Papers)
Absence from this place at and a considerable time after the arrival of your letter of the 12th. June has prevented an earlier answer. Le Blanc’s letter to you was no doubt the last effort of a knave to screen himself from merited punishment. He was convicted upon an indictment for counterfeiting and is now in our state prison for life: I have learnt the above from the Attorney General without...

12From Thomas Jefferson to Dolley Payne Todd Madison, 6 July 1805 (Jefferson Papers)
Th: Jefferson presents his affectionate salutations to mrs Madison & thinks the case she shewed him the other day (with ear-rings & a pin) will answer mrs Randolph’s views. he begs leave to remind her of the request for such a comb exactly as she sent before. he sollicits her on his own account, whenever she shall happen to be shopping, to get a garment for him to present to Virginia, another...
13From Thomas Jefferson to Edward Preble, 6 July 1805 (Jefferson Papers)
I have recieved by Capt Tingey the hogshead of Marsalla wine you were so kind as to send me, for which I pray you to accept my thanks. altho’ not yet fined (which operation I always leave to time) I percieve it is an excellent wine, and well worthy of being laid in, in stock to acquire age. gratified by this mark of your attention it was natural for me to feel a wish to give you a proof of it...
14From Thomas Jefferson to Anne Cary Randolph, 6 July 1805 (Jefferson Papers)
I do not know whether it is owing to your laziness or mine that our letters have been so long intermitted. I assure you it is not to my want of love to you, and to all of those about you, whose welfare I am always so anxious to learn. but it is useless to discuss old bankrupt scores. we will therefore burn our old accounts, and begin a new one on the 1st. day of October next. I have expected...

16From Thomas Jefferson to Robert Williams, 6 July 1805 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of May 15. came to hand some days ago. mr Madison’s dispatches by the last post will have substantially answered the most important part of it. insubordination and opposition will be tolerated as little in whigs as in tories. at the same time it is very afflicting to me to see those who have been useful in restoring the ascendancy of the whig principles of our constitution...
17From Thomas Jefferson to Caspar Wistar, 6 July 1805 (Jefferson Papers)
I inclose you a pamphlet from mr Biot a member of the National institute which he desires to have presented to the society.

Accept my friendly salutations & assurances of esteem & respect. PPAmP .
