In answer to your questions relating to the recovery of certain debts in South Carolina I have the honor of informing you that it is thought that several instances of Judgments for British debts have occurred, but for want of time to procure direct official information from South Carolina the only instance which can now be ascertained here is of the House of Powel Hopton & Co. having obtained...
4To Thomas Jefferson from Charles Pinckney, 12 October 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
I have written you very often lately but have never yet had the pleasure of a line from you or known whether you have received my Letters—indeed from the manner in which a Letter from Mr. Nicholas came to me after being opened, I have every reason to beleive very few if any of my friends Letters reach me, or those I write, the Gentlemen to whom they are Addressed—I wish to know how things will...
5To Thomas Jefferson from Charles Pinckney, 22 November 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
I have just recieved your favour after an interval since its date of nearly one Month—I am to particularly regret Your not recieving my communications, as I wanted some facts from you to aid me in the very delicate & arduous struggle I have in this state—finding from my intelligence that the Pennsylvania Senate intended to contend for a concurrent vote in the choice of Electors & thus to...
6To Thomas Jefferson from Charles Pinckney, [3] December 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
I wrote you yesterday a short Letter of sincere congratulation on our success in the Election & as it will be some time before I can be at Washington I wish to detail to you the reasons that will inevitably detain me.—When I was two Years since a candidate for the Senate I pledged myself to the republican Interest of this State to use every Exertion in my power to make a peace with France &...
7To Thomas Jefferson from Charles Pinckney, 20 December 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
Having finished the public Business I went to Columbia as I was returning to Charleston to take shipping for Washington & at this place met with a paper which is inclosed & which has surprised me exceedingly—is it possible that the State of Pennsylvania has been deprived of her Vote by a majority of two in the senate? Or, taking the whole number of the federal part of their senate together, by...
8To Thomas Jefferson from Charles Pinckney, 8 January 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
I wrote you some weeks since informing you that after the finishing some indispensable public Business important to the continuance & increase of the republican interest in this state I should go to Charleston & proceed from thence by Water either to Baltimore or to Washington as passages offered—Since this I am concerned to inform You that in my way down from Columbia stopping at this place I...
9To Thomas Jefferson from Charles Pinckney, [9 February 1801] (Jefferson Papers)
I am this moment arrived in New York on my way to the seat of Government, it Being the only Port to which I could procure a passage at this rough Season & my arm is too lame from the accident to it to travel by land, unless very slow & with care.—I was anxious to have been with You by the 11th. & set out for that purpose but a long passage & contrary winds prevented—it now snows very much &...
10To Thomas Jefferson from Charles Pinckney, 5 March 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
I recollect before I left Carolina I requested you by letter not to make any arrangements or take any step respecting that State until I had seen you as I had some opinions & information to communicate on that subject— On reflection since, I have been induced to suppose that this request on my part was an improper one, & that I ought not to presume so far as to wish to intrude on you my...
