2From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Mann Randolph, Jr., 29 June 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of the 18th . came to hand yesterday, and I observe mine of the 8th. was received at Monticello on the 18th. On recurring to the dates and reciept of those from Monticello, I find they have come to hand very regularly on the 10th. day.—I find that the President will leave this about the middle of July. Consequently I shall set out earlier than I had expected, as I foresee nothing...
3From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Mann Randolph, Jr., 17 May 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
My last letter to you, if I may believe my letter book, was Apr. 19. Yet I think I must have written to you the 26th. also, as I do not recollect the having missed writing to you or my daughter but one week, which was about the 3d. or 4th. instant. Yours of Apr. 9. 16. and May 7. [i.e. May 4] have been duly recd. Mr. Brown’s note on Clow, inclosed in the last is accepted for payment. I...
4From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Mann Randolph, Jr., 21 January 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
I received the day before yesterday your’s of the 9th. From an expression in that, as well as the preceding one, I fear you may not have received my letters which have been regular and constant once a week, except once when the post day was perceived to be changed. I then accomodated the day of my writing to the day of the departure of the Western post from Richmond.—I have received...
5From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Mann Randolph, Jr., 30 March 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of the 5th. came to hand on the 16th. inst. The Southern post which should have arrived on Tuesday, is not arrived yet (Friday) so that letters by that cannot be yet acknoleged. I inclose you some seeds of the Acacia Farnesiana, the most delicious flowering shrub in the world. It will require to be in boxes, and to be kept in the house in the winter. I formerly made use of the South...
6From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Mann Randolph, Jr., 16 December 1790 (Jefferson Papers)
I am now to acknowledge the receipt of your favor of Nov. 11. I have yesterday received a letter from Mr. Mazzei authorizing the immediate sale of Colle, and shall therefore write to Mr. Lewis on the subject. I sincerely wish you may be able to get some of Mr. Carter’s land adjoining. But I should think it worth your while to go further than 300 acres, and that by a negociation with Dobson you...
7From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Mann Randolph, Jr., 8 March 1790 (Jefferson Papers)
I left in the room where I lodged a volume of Lopez de Gomara which I must beg the favor of you to take care of for me till I have the pleasure of seeing you. We arrived here late having a crowded stage and moving very slowly. We set out at day light tomorrow morning, and the weather being intensely cold we have not a comfortable prospect before us. Be so good as to present my respects to...
8From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Mann Randolph, Jr., 22 January 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
I wrote to my daughter this day sennight. I think it certain the Post office bill will now pass, and that there will be a branch of the general post from Richmond by Columbia, Charlottesville and Staunton. The postage of newspapers stands at present at a cent and a half for any distance above 100. miles. There will still be an attempt to reduce it to one half. But even as it now stands it is...
9From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Mann Randolph, Jr., 3 August 1790 (Jefferson Papers)
In my letter of the last week I believe I did not acknoledge the reciept of yours of July 3. With respect to Mr. Thompson he had been named to the Consulship of the Canaries: but as these offices have no direct emoluments, depending for indemnification on the consignments and other business they may produce, he has declined accepting any. Your application needed no apology. I know the...
10From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Mann Randolph, Jr., 20 November 1791 (Jefferson Papers)
I now inclose you, and shall continue to do so, Fenno’s and Freneau’s papers. The latter in two papers a week will contain at least as much good matter as Bache’s six papers a week, and will be a relief to the post. Those I send you will enable our neighbors to judge whether Freneau is likely to answer their expectation. I have not given in Colo. Bell’s list of subscribers , because I do not...
