331To Thomas Jefferson from Peter Carr, 28 March 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
I wrote you some time in December last, from Richmond, but am informed by Mrs. Randolph that the letter has not been received. I am sorry for this on one account principally.

Your opinion with respect to the right I knowe—tis only...
332To Thomas Jefferson from Charles Carter, 17 July 1791 (Jefferson Papers)
Ludlow Farm, 17 July 1791 . He is obliged for the information in TJ’s of the 10th. He will leave it to his son to decide, but his own choice would be for an American education. “The prejudices formerly imbibed, by the Americans…sent to Brittain for an education, I always thought, were too strong, ever to be overcome. But since our Independence, I hope that no such consequences will derive....
333To Thomas Jefferson from Charles Carter, 21 May 1791 (Jefferson Papers)
Without any apology, for this intrusion, I beg leave to engage you in matter that deeply concerns me, and my Family.

334To Thomas Jefferson from Charles Carter, [ca. 6 August 1791] (Jefferson Papers)
[ Ludlow, ca. 6 Aug. 1791. ] Acknowledging with gratitude TJ’s of 31 July. He neglected to mention the Bank of the United States. As TJ is fully informed of their powers, he can himself tell whether loan could be obtained on terms mentioned. A young Virginian studying under Dr. Barton says that he has added an entrance fee of £70 to the terms he took him on. This puts it totally out of his...

I take the liberty once more, to beg your friendship for my eldest Son Walker Randolph Carter, who is now on his way in the Packet for Philadelphia, to live with Mr. Hunter a Coachmaker, who takes him for two years without fee. I am in hopes I shall be able to cloath him decently and allow him a little pocket money. All I have to ask of you is, that you will be so good to give him your advice...

340To Thomas Jefferson from Sarah Champe Carter, 30 June 1795 (Jefferson Papers)
I had the pleasure of receiving your letter of the 4th. instant and should have answered it some-time since, but have been for several weeks a good deal indisposed by the small pox, a circumstance, which, I hope, will apologize for the delay. I have no objection to the establishment of the line by which my son Champe had devided the lands sold you and there held by me as I am fully perswaided...
