The Hague, September 17, 1782—Wrote again to Mr. Secretary Livingston, “This morning I was in conference with Mr. secretary Fagel in order to make the last corrections in the language of the treaty, which is to be executed in English and Dutch, as that with the crown of France was in English and French.

I thank you My Dear, & revered Brother & Sister, for your repeated attentions to me, & mine. The Cold, & the Snow yet remaining upon the Earth, renders it I fear, very painful & unpleasant Weather for my Son. I hoped to receive a Letter from him before this time, Silence in any one else I should construe as inability, or an increase of Disease. Few Children I believe are half attentive enough...

6George Jefferson to Thomas Jefferson, 8 March 1811 (Jefferson Papers)
I duly received your favor of the 3 d inclosing a note for renewal in the bank, which is in good time. The sallad-oil should have been procured & forwarded as you directed, but I was told there was none good in Town.— some has arrived within this day or two, which the holders say is good: but that is so nearly a thing of course, that I will endeavour to learn before Harry’s arrival again, from...
