10101To Thomas Jefferson from David Austin, 9 June 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
Mr. Austin takes the liberty of submitting to the President, the consideration of a momentary interview. It may be had in the closet, or in the presence of any persons the President may think proper to admit. Mr. A. will submit to any interrogations the President may think proper to propose, in view of illucidating, more fully, the subject of former communications. The time & place are...
10102To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 9 June 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
It seems to have been supposed by the late District Attorney of Pennsylvania that the case of W. Priestmann was again before the Treasury. This is not & cannot be the case as a previous decision by a former Secretary , or indeed by the same seems to preclude any further proceeding on the part of this Department. I will, however, state that had the case been fairly before me, I would not have...

10104To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Paine, 9 June 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
Your very friendly letter by Mr. Dawson gave me the real sensation of happy satisfaction, and what served to increase it was that he brought it to me himself before I knew of his arrival.—I congratulate America on your election. There has been no Circumstance, with respect to America, since the times of her revolution, that excited so much general attention and expectation in France, England,...
10105To Thomas Jefferson from William Short, 9 June 1801 (Jefferson Papers)

10107To Thomas Jefferson from Benjamin Waterhouse, 8 June 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
There may possibly seem a want of due consideration in sending this letter, and what accompanies it, to draw the attention of the President of the United States from the important concerns of our nation to a subject more nearly allied to medicine, than to the affairs of state. On this account, I should have hesitated still longer, were I not constantly receiving letters from unknown persons,...
10108To Thomas Jefferson from Joseph Yznardi, Sr., 8 June 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
The purchassers of the $300.000. dolars bills sold by me and payable in Vera Cruz , having hitherto been disapointed in their application for a vessel of war, in as much as there was none in port to perform the Service of brining that Sum to this Country; and having myself entered into engagements upon the strength of recovering at stated periods from said purchassers the necessary funds to...

I have the pleasure to Inform you that the squadron under Commodore Dale sail’d on the 1: Inst. & Cleared Cape Henry on that Day—The Inclosed letter from Capt Truxtun I send for your perusal I rather suppose the Semillante had not gone to Sea with Commodore Dale, as no Mention thereof is made in my letter of the 2nd. from Norfolk.
