16364To Thomas Jefferson from Pierre Samuel Du Pont de Nemours, 4 October 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
Notre Négociation n’a pas eu autant de succès que je l’aurais désiré. Cependant je suis loin de la croire en aussi mauvaise position qu’elle me semble le paraitre à Mr. le chancelier Livingston, qui s’ennuie de ne recevoir pas de réponses positives par écrit, car les verbales sont bonnes.

16369To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, [5 October 1802] (Jefferson Papers)
On reading the enclosed piece in Poulson’s paper, I was induced to answer it, as a similar misrepresentation has already appeared in the Boston centinel; and being on that subject I was led into some discussion of the remission of Callender’s fine. My idea was that Smith should obey the request of “a plain citizen,” by reprinting his piece, and should add as his own remarks the substance of...
