1To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Mann Randolph, 20 February 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
The Christian name of Leake is Walter. I hardly ever knew a man whose judgement and integrity I would be more willing to pledge myself for. He will not be a Candidate for Congress I know and I believe not for the Legislature again. His circumstances render this appointment not only an act of justice to his merits but of humanity. With truly affectionate attachment yr. &c. DNA : RG...

Our family is as it was; happy & well: the children grow daily & improve in mind proportionally I hope: they do not appear to be naturally deficient and their Mother’s diligence constancy & wit surely never were surpassed. with true attachment RC ( ViU ); endorsed by TJ as received 17 Mch. and so recorded in SJL .
3To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Mann Randolph, 12 March 1798 (Jefferson Papers)
We rec’d. your two letters of the 22d. Feb. on the 3 inst. and that of the 2d. on the 10th. I have not been able to procure horses for George and Page yet tho’ I have taken very considerable pains myself and they as far as the hurry of the season would permit them have been looking about. There are none worth having in the neighbourhood but many pass along the road from Kentucki, for sale, and...
4To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Mann Randolph, 6 February 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
Mr Lillie has called since last post to request I would explain to you a blunder of John Perrie who wrote the letter for him informing you of the purchases of supplies he had made to be met by remittance from you. The pork was bought of Reuben Burnley alone to am’t. of £:35.6.10 which sum Dr. Wardlaw has paid and written to you to request you would replace it in Philada. for him. Perries...
5To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Mann Randolph, 28 March 1804 (Jefferson Papers)
I have reached this place with so little fatigue to my horses or myself that I shall go on immediately to Strodes in order to fullfill my promise to Martha in my last letter to be at home tomorrow tonight. I beg you to excuse my not going by the Red-house and writing thence an account of the road you wish to try in coming on this time. Something which I did not foresee and could not control...
6To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Mann Randolph, 29 November 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
I am completely happy in being able to inform you that all our little family has passed safely through the worst stage of the Whooping cough: we have no apprehensions now about any of them: the cough has so much abated and all the serious symptoms so long disappeared that we boldly congratulate ourselves on our good fortune. The fourth week was the worst with all: with Cornelia and Ellen it...
7To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Mann Randolph, [22 April 1798] (Jefferson Papers)
I am confident I could have served you considerably but I thought it better to trust to the motives upon which you depended than risk the consequences of a sudden relaxation of strict command. I scarcely look to the Nailery at all—George I am sure could not stoop to my authority & I hope and believe he pushes your interests as well as I could. The papers with the dispatches from our envoys...
8To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Mann Randolph, 12 April 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
We received your favor of March 31. yesterday and learn with great joy that your next will order your horses—that of the 4th. March I thought I had acknowledged but find it slipped me: those of the 7. & 9. have not yet reached me. I cannot express the feelings your kindness excite: I was really on the point of ruin from my own neglect: I knew all along that I should not have one moment when...
9To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Mann Randolph, 26 February 1798 (Jefferson Papers)
I did not expect to have written by this post as I was much engaged in preparing some papers & in the business of the farm my Overseer being abroad on some affairs of his own, and Martha had written fully this morning. I recollect however now (7 oclock in the Evening) that tis necessary to inform you the Nailery will soon be out of iron if it does not receive a supply from you. George came...
10To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Mann Randolph, 12 December 1822 (Jefferson Papers)
I have to day seen a M r Mauray of this place who has about 4 or 5 quarter casks, of the Scuppernon wine, 2 Yrs. old, which he says he will sell at 87½¢ a Gall. if you take it all, he brought it in from Carolina for a gentleman of Norfolk, who declined takeing it because it is not sweet —It is very different from that I drank at Monticello, I have therefore obtained a bottle which I shall send...
