541From Thomas Jefferson to Alexander Donald, 11 November 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
This accompanies a duplicate of my letter of Oct. 11. troubling you with some small commissions, to which I must add the having some window sashes made for me agreeable to the inclosed directions, and the sending them to Virginia in the ensuing spring.—But there is another commission with which I trouble you with real reluctance. It is to procure for me from Glasgow or Edinburgh a mason...
542From Thomas Jefferson to Martha Jefferson Randolph, 24 March 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
I have nothing interesting to tell you from hence but that we are well, and how much we love you. From Monticello you have every thing to write about which I have any care. How do my young chesnut trees? How comes on your garden? How fare the fruit blossoms &c. I sent to Mr. Randolph, I think, some seed of the Bent-grass which is much extolled. I now inclose you some seed which Mr. Hawkins...

544From Thomas Jefferson to José de Jaudenes and José Ignacio de Viar, 17 May 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
We lately received from Mr: Seagrove our Indian Agent for the southern department a letter, of which the enclosed is an extract; whereby it appeared that a party of the Creek indians under the influence of the adventurer Bowles had meditated some depredations on the Spanish settlements, from which they had been diverted by a friend of our Agent; but that their disposition to do injury was...
545From Thomas Jefferson to Timothy Pickering, 3 September 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
Colo. Bell of Charlottesville called on me yesterday and informed me that he had recieved your appointment as postmaster at that station, which however he found himself obliged to decline accepting, on account of his frequent absences from home, rendered necessary by his commercial affairs. It was certainly impossible to have named a fitter person, if he would have undertaken it. In the event...
546From Thomas Jefferson to Stephen Sayre, 17 July 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
I have duly received your favor of the 13th. on the same subject with one written to the President, and I have the honor to inform you that the circumstances of the case not leaving room for the appointment therein proposed, the offer of service you are pleased to make cannot be made use of.

547From Thomas Jefferson to Martha Jefferson Randolph, 18 August 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
Maria and I are scoring off the weeks which separate us from you. They wear off slowly, but time is sure tho’ slow. Mr. D. Randolph left us three days ago. He went by the way of Presquisle and consequently will not enrapture Mrs. Randolph till the latter end of the month. I wrote to Mr. Randolph sometime ago to desire he would send off Tom Shackleford or Jupiter or any body else on the 1st. of...
548From Thomas Jefferson to James Lyle, 5 February 1790 (Jefferson Papers)
In the account of Kippen & co. against my father’s estate which you rendered to Mr. Nicholas there is a sum of £200., charged as paid to Dr. Walker Aug. 16. 1769. for which Dr. Walker has given no credit in his account against the estate, nor does he remember. It becomes necessary therefore for this to be established by producing the voucher. I must pray you to do this and to send me by post,...
549From Thomas Jefferson to Joseph Marx, 4 June 1796 (Jefferson Papers)
I am favored with yours of May 29. Some time in the course of the last year I was informed by Mr. Meade that he held a draught of Mr. Ceracchi’s on me for 1000 D. and desired to know if it was good. I explained to him, too much at length to be here repeated, how unfounded the draught was, and that I should not accept it. Nothing further therefore is now necessary than to repeat to you that I...
550From Thomas Jefferson to William Carmichael, 31 May 1790 (Jefferson Papers)
Having but a few Hours Notice of the sailing of a Vessel from this Port for Bilboa, I can only avail myself of it so far as to send you a Duplicate of my Letter of April 11th. but not of the Papers which accompanied it. I add the Copy of a Letter and Deposition, which were not then sent, and which shew you that the Practice complained of in Mr. Jay’s Letter of September 9th. 1788 has not been...
