1From John Adams to James Lloyd, 24 April 1815 (Adams Papers)
I have not yet, treated your Letters to me, which I esteem above all price, with the respect they deserve; nor indeed with common Civility. I cannot but hope, that in the great order of things, which We for the moment are so apt to think confusion; some good may accrue to Our Country from this correspondence. In your favour, of Feb. 6. 1815, You have given a Proverb a Maxim of more value to...
2From John Adams to Richard Rush, 24 April 1815 (Adams Papers)
The first Thing that Struck me when I recd your favour of the 15th. was the Seal. I will not tell you, at present how many reflections this excited before I opened the Letter. I determined at once to answer it by my Seal. You will See it on the Outside of this. An Ellipsis Surrounded by 13 Starrs, protecting a Pine Tree, with a Codfish and a Buck. A very bright Starr at the Top of the Pine....
3From Abigail Smith Adams to Harriet Welsh, 24 April 1815 (Adams Papers)
you always collect some comfort or consolation for your Friends—your information respecting the packet was particularly so that, which respected the Boys. I have been distrest for them this terrible North East wind and Storm—I never knew a more voilent one at this season—it must have been worse for those comeing in, than those going out; provided they had sea moon—but I will not distrust the...
4To John Adams from John Quincy Adams, 24 April 1815 (Adams Papers)
I wrote you by Mr Storrow, and by Mr Smith who left this City, with the intention of embarking in different vessels for the United States, by who both actually went in the Firgal from Havre. I sent you by them a regular file of the Journal des Débats, from the time of my arrival here, until it was metamorphosed into the Journal de l’Empire—Mr Crawford is now going to England, intending to...
5From James Madison to James Monroe, 24 April 1815 (Madison Papers)
I have recd yours covering the letters to Mr. Changuion & Genl. P. My hint as to the pecuniary arrangements for tracing the cases of the Negroes carried off was not meant to limit the amt. necessary for so important an object, but to diminish as much as possible the pecuniary discretion and the vague pretensions of the agents, so much perplexity having been experienced from such sources. I am...
6Thomas Jefferson to Elizabeth Patterson Bonaparte, 24 April 1815 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor, Madam, of Mar. 23 . from the usual difficulties of the roads in that season, was so long coming to me that there was no hope of an answer still finding you in America: a circumstance of the less importance as my power of being useful to you, in the way requested, falls so far short of my wishes to be so. the fact is that the persons of distinction with whom I had particular...
7Thomas Jefferson to Joseph Delaplaine, 24 April 1815 (Jefferson Papers)
Occupations from which it was impossible to withdraw have occasioned the delay of acknoleging the receipt of your letter of Mar. 29. on the subject of my portrait in the han hands of mr Stewart . I considered the delay as less important inasmuch as I could not avail my self of the opportunity you proposed of obtaining the portrait. I am unwilling to press mr Stewart unkindly to the delivery of...
8Thomas Jefferson to Nicolas G. Dufief, 24 April 1815 (Jefferson Papers)
Having occasion to make you a remittance in August last , I took the liberty of embodying with it certain sums which I owed to others in Philadelphia , and of asking the favor of you to pay them to the persons on their application. among these was a sum of 15.D. for the editor of the Aurora for 3. years of that paper. I have lately recieved his account by which it would seem either that he has...
9Thomas Jefferson to Albert Gallatin, 24 April 1815 (first letter) (Jefferson Papers)
An American going to Paris considers you of course as his natural patron there; but still it is well you should know when worth presents itself, and is added to the claim of a fellow citizen on your good offices. the bearer mr William B. Buchanan is the son of James A. Buchanan esquire of Baltimore of great worth and respectab il ity. he embarks for Europe with Doct r Eustis , and will...
10Thomas Jefferson to Albert Gallatin, 24 April 1815 (second letter) (Jefferson Papers)
This letter will be handed you by mrs Patterson , daughter of mr Patterson of Baltimore , with whose high standing worth and patriotism you are well acquainted, and probably with his person. mrs Patterson , as a citizen of the United States, would naturally recieve your patronage and attentions, while at Paris ; which with your knolege of her family would render unnecessary any recommendations...
11Thomas Jefferson to Patrick Gibson, 24 April 1815 [document added in digital edition] (Jefferson Papers)
I have lately learnt that tobacco sells high & readily, and therefore would wish you to make sale of mine as soon as you think advisable. with respect to flour I suppose it best to give time for the European vesses vessels which would not adventure to sail until they learnt there our ratification of the treaty, to arrive and produce here a full competition of demand. this will be I suppose in...
