1From Thomas Jefferson to C. W. F. Dumas, 8 March 1789 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favors of Dec. 11. Jan. 23. and Mar. 3. have been duly received. Your despatches for Mr. Jay always go by the first safe conveyance after they come. I have been long acknowleging the receipt of your former letters because during the winter a very sick family prevented my attending to any but the most indispensable business, and because I saw by your zealous and judicious publications in...
2From Thomas Jefferson to C. W. F. Dumas, 3 November 1788 (Jefferson Papers)
I have duly received your favors of the 10th. and 23d. of Octob. and sincerely sympathize with you on your sufferings, without being able to relieve them. Nor can I even conjecture what Congress will decide as to the Brussels proposition. I should be puzzled myself to suggest any thing better at this moment. You have doubtless heard that N. Carolina has thought it best to propose amendments to...
3From Thomas Jefferson to C. W. F. Dumas, 30 September 1788 (Jefferson Papers)
Mine of the 1st. inst. acknoleged your several favors down to the 14th. of Aug. I have now to add those of Aug. 28. Sep. 11. 12. 16. and 26. The dispatches they inclosed for Mr. Jay have been duly forwarded, except the last which shall go in a few days. Notwithstanding the orders you were so kind as to undertake to give in your’s of the 11th. inst. and which I am sure you have given, the...
4From Thomas Jefferson to C. W. F. Dumas, 1 September 1788 (Jefferson Papers)
In my letters of the 30th. and 31st. of July I took the liberty of asking the favor of you to procure the Leyden gazette to be sent to Count Diodati and myself, from Leyden by post, during the suspension of the ordinary distribution of that paper here. You were so good as to do this, and we have been in a course of receiving those papers regularly by post. But the suspension here being now...
5From Thomas Jefferson to C. W. F. Dumas, 31 July 1788 (Jefferson Papers)
I had the honour of writing to you yesterday, and after sending my letter to the post-office, received a notification that the distribution of the gazette of Leyden here was prohibited. The purpose of the present therefore is merely to ask the favor of you to make interest with your friend Luzac to send me the paper by post during the interval of it’s prohibition. If put under a common letter...
6From Thomas Jefferson to C. W. F. Dumas, 31 July 1788 (Jefferson Papers)
I was mentioning to-day to my friend the Count Diodati, minister plenipotentiary for the Duke of Mecklenberg-Schwerin, that I had asked the favor of you to have the Leyden gazette sent to me by post, during the suspension of it’s distribution here, and he asked of me to procure at the same time the same benefit for him, being disposed as myself to pay the postage rather than be without the...
7From Thomas Jefferson to C. W. F. Dumas, 30 July 1788 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of the 24th. has just come to hand, and that of the 20th. of June had never been acknoleged. I congratulate you on the news just received of the accession of New Hampshire to the new Constitution which suffices to establish it. I have the honor to inclose you details on that subject, as also on the reception of Mr. Adams, which you will be so good as to reduce to such a size as may...
8From Thomas Jefferson to C. W. F. Dumas, 9 June 1788 (Jefferson Papers)
I have the honor of inclosing to you a state of such articles of intelligence as I received by the last packet which may be interesting in Europe. I stated them for the publisher of an English and American gazette printed here in English once a week, which begins and deserves to be read. If you think any of these articles worth inserting in the Leyden gazette, you will be so good as to put...
9From Thomas Jefferson to C. W. F. Dumas, 15 May 1788 (Jefferson Papers)
My first moments after my return having been necessarily occupied by letters which had come during my absence and which required immediate answers, I have not till now been able to resume my correspondence with you, and to inform you of my safe arrival here after a very agreeable tour through Germany. Our news from America comes down to the 14th. of March. At that time the state of the new...
10From Thomas Jefferson to C. W. F. Dumas, 29 March 1788 (Jefferson Papers)
I have now to acknolege the receipt of your favors of the 14th. 18th. and 23d. inst. I would have preferred doing it in person, but the season and the desire of seeing what I have not yet seen invite me to take the route of the Rhine. I shall leave this place tomorrow morning and probably not reach Paris till the latter end of April. In the moment we were to have conferred on the subject of...
