1To Thomas Jefferson from Joseph Yznardi, Sr., 8 August 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
Being still deprived of Your Excellency’s gracious favors, or having merited an answer from the Secretary of State approving or dis’approving my Conduct I have been waiting a long time for the arrival of Mr. Hackley hoping that he would be bearer of such Satisfactions, but alltho’ the first is verified, to my grief I am disappointed in the latter; the particulars that I took the liberty to...
2From James Madison to Thomas Jefferson, 8 August 1807 (Madison Papers)
I reached home last evening a little before sunset. About ½ after eleven the post arrived under a misconception of the arrangement; and I dispatched him a little before 2 OC. I was obliged to decide on your letter to the Govr. therefore without consulting the law or the Proclamation, and of course with but little reflection. It appeared however in all respects proper, as to the permanent...

4To James Madison from Josef Yznardy, 8 August 1807 (Madison Papers)
Notwithstanding being well aware that when our Chiefs are Silent, and they do not reprimand with unfounded complaints, it is a true and tacit sign that they approve our Conduct, and do not give hearings to false malicious representations and publications; therefore I hope and expect Sir that you will disimulate the franchise with which I expressed myself in my Letter of the 10th. June last;...

I reached home last evening a little before sunset. About 1/2 after eleven the post arrived under a misconception of the arrangement; and I dispatched him a little before 2 OC.

It appeared however in all respects proper, as to the permanent...
6To Thomas Jefferson from Alexander Wolcott, 8 August 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
The death of Mr. Imlay, late commissioner of loans within this State, having created a vacancy in that office, I take the liberty of naming Mr Jonathan Bull of Hartford as a person perfectly qualified for the office. Mr Bull, if I mistake not, was early recommended to you as a successor to Mr Imlay whenever one should be appointed. He is a man of irreproachable character, and I may venture to...

8From John Adams to Mercy Otis Warren, 8 August 1807 (Adams Papers)
More demonstrations of your Friendship for Mr Adams appear in the 229 page of the third Volume. The Same disposition to wink him out of Sight, to represent him in an odious light, to lessen and degrade him below his Station, which runs through every part of your history in which he appears, is very visible here again. “Mr John Adams had left Holland and joined the Plenipotentiaries of the...
9To James Madison from A. Bouchery, 8 August 1807 (Madison Papers)
I have discovered a certain process which embraces two objects equally important: The one is to avoid the considerable decomposition that takes place in the first manufacturing of Sugar extracted from the Cane: the other, not less considerable, prevents that which results from the labour of the Refiner. These decompositions are Such as to yield the Planters but Sixty five pounds from one...
10To James Madison from Frederick Bates, 8 August 1807 (Madison Papers)
I had the honor of receiving, this day, by express from St: Louis, your letter of the 2d. Ulto. covering the President’s Proclamation on the subject of the late outrage on the Chesapeake, and other national differences. On this remote frontier, we partake in the fervors of our Atlantic countrymen; and should the occasion present itself, would, I am persuaded, shew ourselves Americans, as well...
