471From James Madison to Thomas Jefferson, 10 January 1801 (Madison Papers)
Mrs. Browne having been detained at Fredg for some time, I did not receive your favor of the 19th. in time to be conveniently acknowledged by the last mail.

In all the letters & most of the Newspapers which I have lately recd. thro’ the post office,...

474To Thomas Jefferson from Tench Coxe, 10 January 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
I had the honor to learn from the person, who left you on the 31st. instant that you were then well. The Situation of our post office is a great evil. It has occasioned me to be very guarded in my correspondence for some time. I have missed two letters, one of which related to private business of very great consequence to myself, and others. The republican interest of the United States have...

The important election has been so far favorable for the Republicans; you & Mr; Burr have 73 votes each, and the House of Representatives must, on the second Wednesday in the next month, chuse one of you two for President. As it appears from the explicit & honorable conduct of Mr; Burr there will be no competition on his part, it is reasonably to be expected that there can be no difficulty in...

479From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Mann Randolph, 10 January 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
I promised to procure for the Chevalier de Freire , minister of Portugal an account of our manner of cultivating tobacco so detailed as that a person might, by it’s instruction, pursue the culture with exactness. I always intended to have got two or three judicious planters to state to me their methods, which I should have noted down, and out of the whole have made out one. I now see that it...
