61From Thomas Jefferson to William Carmichael, 18 February 1787 (Jefferson Papers)
My last to you was dated Dec. 26. since which I have been honoured with yours of Dec. 17. I now inclose you a duplicate of the vote for the recall of Mr. Lamb. I take the liberty also of putting under cover to you our confirmation of the Marocco treaty together with a joint letter to Fennish. The fear that Mr. Barclay might not be at Madrid has occasioned my giving you this trouble as well as...
62From Thomas Jefferson to William Carmichael, 25 October 1785 (Jefferson Papers)
I did myself the honour of writing to you on the 18th. inst. Since that date it has become probable that Mr. Lamb and Mr. Randall will set out for Madrid before Mr. Barclay will be ready. You will probably see them between the middle and last of November. I took the liberty of solliciting Count d’Aranda for passports for these gentlemen, which might protect their baggage from being searched....
63From Thomas Jefferson to William Carmichael and David Humphreys, 26 April 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
The public papers giving us reason to believe that the War is becoming nearly general in Europe, and that it has already involved Nations, with which we are in daily habits of Commerce and friendship, the President has thought it proper to issue the Proclamation of which I enclose you a copy, in order to mark out to our Citizens the line of conduct they are to pursue. Uninformed whether the...

I enclose you a statement of the case of Joseph Ste. Marie a citizen of the United States of America, whose clerk Mr. Swimmer was, in the latter part of the year 1787, seized on the Eastern side of the Mississippi, in latitude 34°-40’, together with his goods, of the value of 1980 dollars, by a party of Spanish soldiers.—They justified themselves under the order of a Mr. Valliere their...
65From Thomas Jefferson to William Carmichael, 9 April 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
I wrote you on the 29th. of Dec. Since that a joint letter to yourself and Mr. Short has been forwarded to the latter, whom you may probably see at Madrid sometime in May on a business jointly confided to you. The incertainty of the fate of my letters to you occasions my silence on all special subjects. The newspapers which now, and on all other occasions accompany my letters, will possess you...
66[From Thomas Jefferson to William Carmichael, 16 August 1784] (Jefferson Papers)
[ Paris, 16 Aug. 1784 . An entry in SJL under this date has a line drawn through it followed by: “[recalled the letter.]” The canceled entry reads: “[Aug.] 16. Mr. Carmichael at Havre on the subject of Limosin. See copy.” It is possible that this letter dealt with TJ’s having been cheated by a porter at Havre (see TJ to William Temple Franklin, 18 Aug. 1784 , note.]
67From Thomas Jefferson to William Carmichael, 16 August 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
You honored me with a letter by the bearer hereof Mr. Cassinave, when he came to America, and from what I have seen and heard of him, he merited in every respect your recommendations. Having established himself in commerce at Baltimore, he is now going to Spain with a view to introduce more considerable exchanges of productions between the two countries, in which I have no doubt he will...

70From Thomas Jefferson to William Carmichael, 3 June 1788 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favors of Apr. 14. and 29. and May 8. have lately come to hand. That of Jan. 29. by M. de Molinedo had been left here during my absence on a journey to Amsterdam. That gentleman was gone, as I presume from my being unable to learn any thing of him. I had been led to Amsterdam in order to meet with Mr. Adams and to endeavor in conjunction with him to take arrangements for answering the...
