I have the honor to enclose the resignation of George Foster collector of Sunbury in Georgia. Although I have no knowledge of James Holmes mentioned in his letter, permit me, considering the distance & difficulty of obtaining recommendations and the danger to which the revenue would in the mean while be exposed, to submit the propriety of appointing him Successor. The appointment might be...
103To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 15 August 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
I have the honor to enclose a letter from the Commissioner of the revenue accompanying proposals for erecting a light house on Falkner’s Island. There are two applicants , Mr Woodward of Connecticut & Mr M’Comb of New York. For the reasons stated in the Commissioner’s & Gen. Huntingdon’s letters, the first named gentleman seems to merit the preference. By the Act of 3d March last, the...
104To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 23 January 1804 (Jefferson Papers)
It seems, upon the whole, more eligible that Mr Harvie should take his passage in a private vessel than in that which will be chartered from Norfolk. Mr Pichon thinks so, and I agree with him. Will you have the goodness to give the information to Mr Harvie, in order that he may make his arrangements. I will, if agreeable, write to the Collectors of New York and Baltimore in order to know what...
105To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 20 June 1806 (Jefferson Papers)
By the 3d Section of the enclosed act, you are authorized to designate the port of entry of the district of Ocracock. A letter of the collector shews the situation & a plan is annexed. But it would I think be improper to designate only a spot: a certain extent may be defined by boundaries so that the collector may have some choice in fixing himself. Every other port extends as far as the town...

107To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 22 January 1806 (Jefferson Papers)
It appears that David Duncan, Collector of Michillimakinac, left that district without leave of absence in August or September last, and, proceeding by way of Detroit and New York arrived at Philadelphia early in December. I was not acquainted with that circumstance till the commencement of this year, when Judge Woodward of Michigan delivered to me the collector’s accounts for the second...
108To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 15 August 1806 (Jefferson Papers)
I forgot to enclose in mine of this morning the within letter which I promised to lay before you, adding at same time that “the question of propriety as connected with our neutrality appeared doubtful, & that the expense, supposing we had a vessel conveniently to lend, would in my opinion be more than all the benefit accruing to the U.S. from the importation of 500,000 dollars which would be...
109To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 19 March 1806 (Jefferson Papers)
I enclose three letters from Mr Thompson Register of Oppelousas; the last received this morning & the two others last week, but yet unanswered. There are these points which seem to require consideration— 1. to extend the time for filing claims, which I think ought to be done & may be proposed to the land committee. 2. the great extent of the district & the distance of Washita & other counties...
110To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 2 February 1805 (Jefferson Papers)
Adam Gantz’s application for pardon On what ground the district judge supposes that no remission could legally be granted by the Secy. of the Treasury in this case, is not understood. As, however he has not certified the facts in the usual way, nor transmitted the papers, the Secretary cannot act. Nor is it probable, if he could, that he would remit the fine after conviction of smuggling by a...
