Depuis peu je suis revenu d’une tournée en Virginie & quoique ce voyage n’ait rien de commun avec les affaires, j’ai cependant cru que Votre Excellence ne serait pas fachée d’en apprendre la relation, ne l’ayant entrepris que pour présenter mes respects à M r Jefferson . La campagne qu’il habite se trouve en Virginie à peu près à 200. werstes au Sud de Washington . Après être parvenu à...

15 April 1811, Jonesborough, North Carolina. “My health is so precarious that it is with great difficulty I can continue in the land of the living, & that must be done by the greater part of my time travelling about in search of health,… & it takes more than the profits of my little estate to defray these expences.” Seeks a post in the Mediterranean that would “barely afford a sustenance.”...

4Thomas Jefferson to Pierre Samuel Du Pont de Nemours, 15 April 1811 (Jefferson Papers)
I have to acknolege the reciept of your letters of Jan. 20. & Sep. 14. 1810. and, with the latter, your Observations on the subject of taxes. they bear the stamps of logic & eloquence which mark every thing coming from you, & place the doctrines of the Economists in their strongest points of view. my present retirement & unmeddling disposition make of this une question oiseuse pour moi . but...

7Thomas Jefferson to Pierre Paganel, 15 April 1811 (Jefferson Papers)
I recieved through mr Warden the copy of your valuable work on the French revolution, for which I pray you to accept my thanks. that it’s sale should have been suppressed is no matter of wonder with me. the friend of liberty is too feelingly manifested, not to give umbrage to it’s enemies. we read in it, and weep over, the fatal errors which have lost to nations the present hope of liberty,...

9Thomas Jefferson to William Wirt, 15 April 1811 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of the 10 th was recieved yesterday.
