1From Thomas Jefferson to Justus Erich Bollmann, 25 January 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
The communications which Doctr. Bollman made yesterday to Th: Jefferson were certainly interesting: but they were too much for his memory. from their complexion & tendency, he presumes that Dr. Bollman would have no objections to commit them to writing, in all the details into which he went yesterday, and such others as he may have then omitted, Th: Jefferson giving him his word of honour that...
2From Thomas Jefferson to Justus Erich Bollmann, 5 December 1805 (Jefferson Papers)
In proposing to you the factory at Natchitoches I had no object but that of accomodating you, if you should yourself think it an acomodation. the same motive would prevent my wishing you to be bound by the first momentary view of the subject; and rather that whenever you should on better information cease to consider it as acceptable you should be perfectly free to decline it. be assured...
3From Thomas Jefferson to Justus Erich Bollmann, 16 October 1805 (Jefferson Papers)
I have spoken with Genl. Dearborne, within whose department is the appointment at Natchitoches proposed to you. he says it would be desireable that you could be at the post as early as December, but that the business can go on provided you are there in all the month of February. he says it has the reputation of being a healthy place, & as far as he can judge by the military sick lists it is...
4From Thomas Jefferson to Justus Erich Bollmann, 6 October 1805 (Jefferson Papers)
Our policy with our new Indian neighbors beyond the Missisipi is to attach them to us by a commerce more advantageous to them than they have ever before known, and only not losing to the US. we are now establishing trading houses at several stations among them, over each of which is placed a factor with 1000. Dollars a year, & I believe some advantage of rations. the most agreeable position we...

I now enclose you a note of the US bank at this place on that at N. York for five hundred and forty six dollars forty three cents, the amount of the wines, with my thanks for your trouble in procuring them. they prove to be very good. that of the largest quantity answers in quality to what we had last year with only the difference which the circumstance of less age probably produces. the Tokay...
6From Thomas Jefferson to Justus Erich Bollmann, 12 November 1804 (Jefferson Papers)
I had believed I could have remitted you before this day the amount of the wines you have been so kind as to import for me, and so I said to you in my letter . I now find it will still be three weeks before I can do it, of which it is my duty to inform you in order to lessen the disappointment, and to assure you that this failure, which has not been wilful, shall with certainty be made good...
7From Thomas Jefferson to Justus Erich Bollmann, 17 October 1804 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of the 4th. is at hand, and I am glad to hear of the arrival of the wine. the price per bottle is higher indeed than you had expected; but taking size and quality into consideration, it comes welcome. the other kinds of wine, being sweet, are not to the taste of this country, and being so high priced are less desirable: but I have no hesitation at relieving you from them. on any...
8From Thomas Jefferson to Justus Erich Bollmann, 22 June 1803 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of the 18th. is come to hand, and I am sorry you are not likely to get your affairs into the shape you have desired. I am the more so as it is not in my power to be useful to you in the way you propose. I will say to you with candour, that having two years ago purchased some land adjoining me, and extremely important to me for 6000 D. it has kept me in constant distress and remains...

10From Thomas Jefferson to Justus Erich Bollmann, 30 April 1803 (Jefferson Papers)
Understanding that you were withdrawing from the business in which you have been engaged, but not informed as to your future views, I take the liberty of mentioning to you that there is at present no Consul of the US. at Rotterdam, and that I should name you to that office with a perfect satisfaction that it’s functions would be performed by you usefully for the public. you know that no...
