Since my last to you which was of Mar. 8. I have had the honor of yours of April 2.

2From Thomas Jefferson to André Limozin, 8 March 1789 (Jefferson Papers)
I am now to acknowlege the receipt of your favors of Dec.—Jan. 18. and Feb. 28. On the subject of the latter I have to inform you that I am an utter stranger to Mr. Silas Talbot father of the two young Americans at Brest, and never heard even his name till a few days before your letter came to hand. I received one from him, dated John’stown N. York Nov. 20. 1788. wherein he informs me he has...
3From Thomas Jefferson to André Limozin, 11 December 1788 (Jefferson Papers)
Your letter of the 7th. inst. has been duly received, as were those also of the 12th. 15th. and 16th. of Nov. tho’ omitted to be acknoleged at the time. You may assure your correspondent of Boston that he may safely send his whale oil and spermaceti oil to France.

Your favor of Nov. 30. is duly received.

The vessels bringing the same are exempted du droit de fret pour raison desdites importations. The late proceedings in Poland may possibly...
5From Thomas Jefferson to André Limozin, 12 November 1788 (Jefferson Papers)
I should not so long have delayed answering your favor of the 6th. of Oct. but that I have been extremely engaged, and particularly by the Arret of Sep. 28. which prohibits the importation of foreign whale oil, without any exception in our favor. At length I have a prospect of obtaining an exception for American oil. Should any arrive before the matter is finally decided, the Ministers...
6From Thomas Jefferson to André Limozin, 6 September 1788 (Jefferson Papers)
The Treasury board having desired me to send to them the books and papers of Mr. Barclay’s office, I have engaged a Monsieur Vannet to take charge of them from this place. He proposes to embark at Havre on a vessel sailing from thence to Patowmac, and that he may avoid the inconvenience of making any advances on account of these papers, I have undertaken that you will pay their freight to...
7From Thomas Jefferson to André Limozin, 21 August 1788 (Jefferson Papers)
Since my last which was of July 30. I have been honoured with yours of Aug. 6. 8. and 18. and the boxes from Amsterdam and cask from Hamburgh are all safely arrived and have been delivered to me without difficulty.

8From Thomas Jefferson to André Limozin, 30 July 1788 (Jefferson Papers)
I know nothing myself of the person who was the subject of your letter of the 27th. except a mere slight personal acquaintance. But I have been told that he has been very unsuccesful in commerce, and that his affairs are very much deranged. I own I wish to see the beef trade with America taken up by solid hands, because it will give new life to our Northern states. In general they do not know...

In answer to your favor of the 20th. I can assure you that your applications for the Consular appointment at Havre will be perfectly agreeable to me, and that I shall do the justice which is due to your attentions to the affairs of the United states in that port in the report which I shall send with the Consular convention as soon as that shall be finished.

10From Thomas Jefferson to André Limozin, 16 July 1788 (Jefferson Papers)
I received last night your favor of the 13th. and am obliged to you for the search made in the post office for the Nuncio’s packet. With respect to the subject of your private note, I think I had the honor, in some former letter, of informing you that no Consular convention was as yet settled with this country, and that till there should be one it was not probable any appointment of Consuls...
