I wish it was in my power to give you the information you want, as to a proper person for collector at the port of Hampton; there has been an entire change of inhabitants in that part of the country since I was there. the person that you mention I am unacquainted with. Col. George Booker of that neighbourhood, is the most influential republican in the County of E. City; I shou’d think his...
12682To Thomas Jefferson from Elias Glover, 13 April 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
I have not yet learnt whether a letter some time since forwarded covering an affidavit has been received, and therefore feel considerable anxiety lest it may have miscarried. Mr Smith called on me a few days since & enquired whether my affidavit had been taken & forwarded to the President observing that he had been informed it had, but refused to give me the name of his informant—I informed...

I am honoured by your obliging and very friendly letter of July the 7th.

12687To Thomas Jefferson from Pierre Samuel Du Pont de Nemours, 1 January 1805 (Jefferson Papers)

Vous trouvez chaque jour dans nos Gazettes combien je dois désirer de me revoir auprès de vous. J’espère que nous arriverons ensemble...

Before I left New York I presumed to state to you what had been the expectations of the Republican Citizens of Dutchess County in favor of their Friend and beloved Citizen General Bailey, and what they now hoped from the Federal Goverment in His favor. That we had been encouraged to believe that He would have been appointed supervisor of this district. And indeed we were greatly disapointed...
12689To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, with Jefferson’s Reply, 21 December 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
Did you read the long report in A. M’Clene’s case , which I had sent to you & which you returned? It appears to me that the whole amounts to this—that the Bargemen have repeatedly been employed in levelling the wharf of the Collector—but, that it does not appear, that they were ever so employed to the detriment of the public business—If so, it should seem that there is not sufficient cause of...
12690To Thomas Jefferson from Levi Lincoln (Jefferson Papers)
The inclosed, received by the last evening’s mail, from its extraordinary contents, I have felt myself constrained with reluctance to communicate. The deep confidence imposed by its nature is dispensed with, only from a belief, that it is of very great importance, you should be informed of every transaction, involving the welfare & reputation of the General Govt—the political state of Rhode...
