11From Thomas Jefferson to C. W. F. Dumas, 6 May 1786 (Jefferson Papers)
Having been absent in England for some time past, your favors of Feb. 27. Mar. 28. and Apr. 11. have not been acknowleged so soon as they should have been. I am obliged to you for assisting to make me known to the Rhingrave de Salm and the Marquis de la Coste, whose reputations render an acquaintance with them desireable. I have not yet seen either; but expect that honour from the Rhingrave...
12From Thomas Jefferson to C. W. F. Dumas, 2 February 1786 (Jefferson Papers)
I was honoured some time ago with a letter from you of Dec. 6. inclosing two for America which I forwarded by the first occasion. On the 18th. of this month I received a letter from his Excellency the Count de Vergennes expressing the interest which he takes in your welfare and recommending you to Congress. This I had an opportunity of forwarding from hence on the 27th. of Jan. under cover to...
13From 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...
14From Thomas Jefferson to C. W. F. Dumas, 2 March 1788 (Jefferson Papers)
Being informed that Mr. Adams was to leave London on the 29th. Ult. for the Hague, I have determined to meet him there. But lest he should have finished his business and be gone before I can get there, I write the inclosed to press him to await an interview, and send it by the post which will be 24 hours before me. I take the liberty of putting it under your cover, as you will certainly know...
15From 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...
16From Thomas Jefferson to C. W. F. Dumas, 12 February 1788 (Jefferson Papers)
I have duly received your favor of the 5th. inst. inclosing that for Mr. Jay. The packet was gone, as I presume: but I have another occasion of forwarding it securely. Your attentions to the Leyden gazette are in my opinion very useful. The paper is much read and respected. It is the only one I know in Europe which merits respect . Your publications in it will tend to reestablish that credit...
17From Thomas Jefferson to C. W. F. Dumas, 21 February 1788 (Jefferson Papers)
I have received your very friendly letter of the 12th. instant. My journey to Amsterdam is among possible events only, and scarcely probable. Should I take it, one of it’s gratifications will be the pleasure of seeing you at the Hague, and you only, because my business being at Amsterdam with private individuals only, I should mean to slide on without being seen or known to any but those with...
18From Thomas Jefferson to C. W. F. Dumas, 4 October 1785 (Jefferson Papers)
I received yesterday your favour of Sep. 28. and shall take care that your bill be honoured. I propose to write to the Commissioners of the Treasury to direct in what manner the salaries of the public servants and other money demands shall be paid. Dr. Franklin had of course a general direction of the funds here. Circumstances rendered this necessary. These have now changed, insomuch that it...
19From Thomas Jefferson to C. W. F. Dumas, 9 August 1787 (Jefferson Papers)
The departure of a packet boat from Havre for New York occasioning me always a great deal of previous writing, I have not been able sooner to acknowlege the receipt of your Note of June 8. on Warneck’s succession, letter of June 30. Extract of letter of July 9. to Mr. Adams, and letters of July 10. and 12. to myself. Your last dispatches to Mr. Jay go by the Packet-boat which sails tomorrow....
20From Thomas Jefferson to C. W. F. Dumas, 22 September 1786 (Jefferson Papers)
I am honored with your letter of the 12th. of Septr. and condole with you very sincerely on the domestic loss you have sustained. The affairs of your Republic seem at present under a cloud which threatens great events. If the powers of the Stadtholder should be thereby reduced to such only as are salutary and the happiness of the people placed on a basis more within the command of their own...
