Your acknowledged patriotism and known willingness to give all useful information to your fellow Citizens, induces me to ask of you information upon the two following points vzt Did you draft the resolutions offered to the Va. assembly in 1798 by Colo. Jno. Taylor of Caroline? And if so, were they presented in the form given to them by you? These resolutions, you will remember, were amended by...
The kindness with which you have always treated me, encourages me to consult you on the subject of an undertaking I have in contemplation. It has been proposed to me to write the Lives of some few of the most distinguished men of this country, in a manner somewhat different from what has been hitherto attempted by mingling more of their domestic habits and character, & confining the details to...
Your favor of the 9th ult. was received in Richmond where I went about the middle of the month and remained till the 28th on business in the Court of Chancery. On the 1st. inst.

I have recd. the Copy of Judge Clayton’s Review of the "Report of the Committee of Ways & Means" for which the Envelope informs me that I am indebted to your politeness. A perusal of the Review has left an impression highly favorable to the talents of the Author, & to the accomplishments of his pen. But I cannot concur in his views & reasonings on some of the material points in discussion; and...
The Correspondence in itself deeply interesting; as an appeal to the Nation is doubly so. Such an occurrence, however caused, necessarily involves painful considerations. The alleviating one is, that the Tribunal resorted to, intelligent and well intentioned as it is, may be expected to decide justly on the subjects submitted to it. J. M. prays the Vice President to be assured of his high...
I have duly recd. yours of the 10th. inst.   The posture of Mr. Jefferson in 1801, was singularly delicate, and I thought the varied expression,   better fitted it, than the text as it stood. I acquiesce however in your view of the case, the rather, as it avoids the awkwardness of a retrospective correction. I shd not certainly under any circumstances distrust your observance of the rule of...
