2192From John Adams to François Adriaan Van der Kemp, 2 October 1818 (Adams Papers)
As Misery is Said to derive Some consolation from the Misery of others; your Letter of 18. Septr. has given me Some miserable Comfort, to find to find that your Batavian Predecessors in New York were not much more tollerant than my Yankee Ancestors in New England. But I admire your East India Company and their Director, and their Threat, of the Authority of their H. M. the States General. How...
2193From James Madison to James Monroe, 2 October 1818 (Madison Papers)
I have duly recd. yours of the 27th. Ulto. I am very sorry that I shall not be able to have the pleasure of joining you at the Meeting of the Visitors. We must await therefore that of seeing you & Mrs. M. on your way to Washington; and hope you will set out in time to spare us some days. The communications from Mr. Rush are very interesting. G. B. seems so anxious to secure the general trade...
2194To James Madison from Joseph Hutton, 2 October 1818 (Madison Papers)
Confiding in your willingness to promote the diffusion of literary information through the Union, over whose interests you so long presided with honour to your self and benefit to your constituents, I respectfully solicit your name to the enclosed prospectus, together with any other, from the circle of your retirement, you may, without inconvenience, be enabled to obtain.

2195C. S. Haven to Thomas Jefferson, 2 October 1818 (Jefferson Papers)
you will be surprized at the liberty I take of add r essing a letter to you, and asking a favour in this manner, indeed I shudder at my impertinence and dispare of obtaining my request, but the hope of being successfull and the impression that you are ever ready to alleviate the misery of humanity urge me to the trial (the favour I beg is money Suffecent to purchase a small share of a Ticket...
2196Joseph Hutton to Thomas Jefferson, 2 October 1818 (Jefferson Papers)
To express doubts of your cordial cooperation in any attempt to promote the extention of literature in our Union, would be doubting against conviction, and to solicit your patronage, under such a belief, for the enclosed prospectus, will not, I feel confident, be deemed by you, impertinent. Respectfully I request your name, & any other in the immediate circle of your retreat, which, without...
2197From John Adams to Ann Frances Bulkeley Humphreys, 3 October 1818 (Adams Papers)
The unexpected Honour of your Obliging Letter of the 30th of September and the rich presents it contained have excited in my Bosom more tenderness of Sentiment, than you could foresee. The Pin which preserves a Sample of General Humphrey’s hair is to me a Pearl of great price and his Portrait, though I think it has not done him justice is yet so much of a resemblance, that it shall be...
2198From James Madison to Josiah Meigs, 3 October 1818 (Madison Papers)
I can not convey the inclosed without expressing for myself, the thanks due for your tabular view of the comparative temperatures of different parts of our Country. Experiment and comparison are the two eyes of Philosophy, and the use you are making of them, promises a more than curious light on some of the laws & phenomena, of our climate. If your correspondents could be relied on for...
2199Thomas Cooper to Thomas Jefferson, 3 October 1818 (Jefferson Papers)
I put in writing what I have to observe, respecting the College at Charlottesville , because I think you will prefer having my remarks so stated, to any recollection of them. I am not at Liberty to consult my Inclination alone: duty to my family, requires that I should attend to their Interest; and to those proposals which are most likely to promote it. I presume, nothing can be permanently...
