281From Thomas Jefferson to Mann Page, 6 March 1798 (Jefferson Papers)
I have to acknolege the receipt of your f[avor] of [Feb.] 13. and […] thank you for the papers it contain[ed.] that of mr Anderson [is so much] […] that I take the liberty of reques[ting you] […] his signature, for which purpose I now inclose it to you.

282From Thomas Jefferson to Benjamin Waterhouse, 25 December 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
I recieved last night, and have read with great satisfaction your pamphlet on the subject of the kine-pox, and pray you to accept [my] thanks for the communication of it. I had before attended to your publications on the subject in the newspapers, and took much interest in the result of the experiments you were making. every friend of humanity must look with pleasure on this discovery, by...
283From Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, 26 December 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
All the votes are now come in except Vermont & Kentuckey, and there is no doubt that the result is a perfect parity between the two republican characters. the Feds appear determined to prevent an election, & to pass a bill giving the government to mr Jay, appointed Chief justice, or to Marshall as Secy. of state. yet I am rather of opinion that Maryland & Jersey will join the 7. republican...
284From Thomas Jefferson to Auguste Belin, 27 February 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
Th: Jefferson presents his compliments to M. Belin and his thanks for the funeral oration of M. Chaudron on General Washington. he has read this very eloquent production with great satisfaction. it is in truth a very pleasing thing to Americans to see foreigners so liberally participate in their grief on the loss of their great countryman. it is but justice to acknolege that the citizens of...
285From Thomas Jefferson to Benjamin Smith Barton, 1 March 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
Th: Jefferson presents his compliments to Dr. Barton. he is just now beginning to copy the Indian vocabularies lent him by Dr. Barton; but finds it necessary to know previously whether some of them may not already have been entered in the Vocabularies of Th:J. lent to Dr. B. he will therefore thank him for them, & if Dr. B. has not made the uses of them which he wished, they shall be speedily...
286From Thomas Jefferson to Jean Antoine Gautier, 14 January 1799 (Jefferson Papers)
Mr Tenche Coxe, a gentleman of eminence in these [states] […] in commerce & of great respectability in that line, having some business to transact in Paris, & desiring me to recommend some[one] to him on whom he may rely for negotiating it, I have taken the liberty of advising his application to you on the personal acquaintance I had the honour of having with you while at Paris, and the...
287From Thomas Jefferson to Julian Ursin Niemcewicz, 16 January 1799 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor which I recieved at Monticello was so long on the road that I expected you would be with us yourself very soon after. finding however the season advance beyond the time for expecting you, without these expectations being realised, I wrote to you and directed my letter to be put into mr Mc.lure’s hands, and I hope you got it safely. on my arrival here I recieved a letter from Genl...
288From Thomas Jefferson to Mann Page, 2 January 1798 (Jefferson Papers)
I do not know whether you have seen some very furious abuse of me in the Baltimore papers by a mr Luther Martin, on account of Logan’s speech published in the Notes on Virginia. he supposes both the speech & story made by me to support an argument against Buffon. I mean not to enter into a newspaper contest with mr Martin. but I wish to collect, as well as the lapse of time will permit the...
289From Thomas Jefferson to Horatio Gates, 30 May 1797 (Jefferson Papers)
I thank you for the pamphlet of Erskine inclosed in your favor of the 9th. inst. and still more for the evidence which your letter afforded me of the health of your mind and I hope of body also. Erskine has been reprinted here and has done good. It has refreshed the memory of those who had been willing to forget how the war between France and England has been produced; and who ape-ing St....
290From Thomas Jefferson to Mary Jefferson Eppes, 13 July 1798 (Jefferson Papers)
I arrived here on the 3d. inst. expecting to have found you here and we have been ever since imagining that every sound we heard was that of the carriage which was once more to bring us together. it was not till yesterday I learnt by the reciept of mr Eppes’s letter of June 30th. that you had been sick, and were only on the recovery at that date. a preceding letter of his, referred to in that...
