31From Thomas Jefferson to André Limozin, 22 September 1787 (Jefferson Papers)
I must trouble you with another letter to Mr. Jay, to be delivered to Monsr. Bourgoin on board the packet, which I hope will not be sailed before it gets to your hands, as the latter is of extreme importance. It is to inform Congress that official advice is just received here that the Prussian troops entered the territory of Holland on the 15th. instant, that most of the principal towns had...
32From 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...
33From Thomas Jefferson to André Limozin, 25 November 1785 (Jefferson Papers)
I received the day before yesterday your favor of the 21st. and thank you for your care of my letter to the Mr. Fitzhughs. In mine of Nov. 11. addressed to you I took the liberty of asking you to furnish them with four hundred livres and to draw on me for the money. Instead of this you will be pleased to consider the twenty guineas (mentioned in your letter) as advanced at my request and to...
34From Thomas Jefferson to André Limozin, 14 February 1788 (Jefferson Papers)
I have received your favor of the 10th. When I wrote to you on the 8th. and referred you to a letter of the preceding day, it was a mistake. I should have referred you to a letter of the 6th. as I wrote on the 6th. and 8th. only, and not on the 7th. The packet meant in my letter of the 8th. went by the diligence. It was covered with linen addressed to you in the handwriting of my servant. On...
35From Thomas Jefferson to André Limozin, 24 July 1786 (Jefferson Papers)
I have taken the liberty to desire the Sieur de Presolle to send to your address some packages of cartouch boxes for the state of Virginia. I will beg the favor of you to receive and forward them by some vessel going into James river. Your draft on me for charges shall be paid on sight. I have the honor to be with much respect Sir your most obedient & most humble servt., PrC ( MHi ); endorsed.

37From Thomas Jefferson to André Limozin, 22 January 1788 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favors of Jan. 10. 11. and 19th. have been duly received. With respect to the plan of an Academical institution to be transported to Virginia and there established, tho’ you do not name the person who applies to you for a ship, yet I conjecture it to be the same who has communicated to me a slight view of such a plan here. So far as it may concern your interest I shall write to you...
38From Thomas Jefferson to André Limozin, 5 May 1786 (Jefferson Papers)
I have for two months past been in England. On my return to this place, which was only on Sunday last, I found your favor of March 17. I suppose the ship Hanover, which you therein mention as bound for Virginia, must be gone before this date. Monsr. La croix, the bearer of this, tells me he goes in a ship of yours bound to New York. By him therefore I send some small packages for America, and...
39From Thomas Jefferson to André Limozin, 31 December 1787 (Jefferson Papers)
In your favor of the 18th. instant you were so kind as to inform me that the American ship Juno, Capt. Jenkins, would sail from your port for New York about the 3d. of January. I avail myself therefore of that opportunity for the conveyance of dispatches to Mr. Jay, which are of great consequence. As it is improper they should go thro’ the post office, I send a servant with them express and...
40From 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...
41From Thomas Jefferson to André Limozin, 14 February 1787 (Jefferson Papers)
The inclosed letter is to announce to Congress the death of the Count de Vergennes and appointment of the Count de Montmorin to succeed him. As the winds seem to have been contrary to the sailing of the packet boat, I send it by post and beg the favor of you to deliver it to Colo. Franks if he is not gone; and if he is, to send it by the first vessel. I have received duly the papers which...
42From Thomas Jefferson to André Limozin, 16 December 1786 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of Dec. 13. is this moment put into my hands. I will be obliged to you to send the box (which was to have gone by La Croix) by the Le Couteulx to Norfolk. I have no correspondent in Norfolk, and will therefore beg the favor of you to address it to yours at that place, with a request that he will forward it to a Colo. Richard Cary near Hampton (to whom, if I recollect rightly, it is...
43From Thomas Jefferson to André Limozin, 11 November 1785 (Jefferson Papers)
I received last night a letter from the Mr. Fitzhughs informing me that the delay of their departure occasioned them to be in want of money. If you will be so good as to furnish them with four hundred livres I will repay it to your bill on me on sight. Be pleased to mention in the bill that it is for so much paid to them by my order. I pray of you the further trouble of delivering them the...
44From Thomas Jefferson to André Limozin, 24 September 1787 (Jefferson Papers)
Yet another letter Sir to go by the packet. It conveys information that the British Minister here has formally notified the court that they are arming generally for the present war. I am Sir Your most obedt. servt., PrC ( DLC ). Enclosure: TJ to John Jay, preceding.
45From Thomas Jefferson to André Limozin, 8 October 1785 (Jefferson Papers)
I am to thank you for the receipt of your favor of the 4th. inst. but am obliged to trouble you further, to inform me whether any suit was ever commenced for Mr. Fortin to recover the estate fallen to him? If a suit was commenced, whether it has been decided, and what was the decision? Or if not decided, for what cause it is suspended, and when will it probably come to decision? I am sorry to...
46From Thomas Jefferson to André Limozin, 9 September 1787 (Jefferson Papers)
Immediately on the receipt of your favor of the 31st. of August I waited on the person who is charged with the superintendance of the conduct of the farms, and informed him that the Custom house officers had required the antient duties on a cargo of pearlash arrived at Havre. He observed to me that the duties promised to be abolished by the king were only those due to himself or the farms; but...
47From Thomas Jefferson to André Limozin, 28 September 1785 (Jefferson Papers)
I have taken the liberty to send this day to your address 3 trunks and a box, all of them containing books and nothing else. They are all marked L.S. They are directed as follows. The box. Edmund Randolph. Richmond. Virginia. The two largest trunks. James Madison. Orange. To the care of James Buchanan. Richmond. The smallest trunk. James Madison. Williamsburgh. Virginia. By which you will...
48From Thomas Jefferson to André Limozin, 8 February 1788 (Jefferson Papers)
In my letter of yesterday I forgot to mention that I had sent off by the Diligence of the day before two small boxes addressed to you, and which I wished to have forwarded by the packet to New York. As each box had it’s address, and one of them signed by me I am in hopes you will have conjectured what my forgetfulness prevented me from giving you notice of. I am with much esteem Sir Your most...
49From Thomas Jefferson to André Limozin, 3 May 1789 (Jefferson Papers)
I have duly received your favors of the 16th. and 24th. of April and am obliged to you for your information of the ships arriv[ing] in your port which I beg you to continue to give me. [I] am in daily expectation of receiving my permission, and having all my baggage already packed I need not stay here more than a week after I receive it. I am determined to embark from Havre. I return you many...
50From Thomas Jefferson to André Limozin and Others, 28 October 1787 (Jefferson Papers)
I have the honor to inform you that declarations on the part of France and England for the continuance of peace were signed last night at Versailles, of which be so good as to notify the citizens of the U.S. concerned in commerce at your port, for their future government. I have the honor to be sir your most obedt. & most hble. Servt., PrC ( DLC ); in the hand of William Short, signed by TJ;...
51From 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...
52From Thomas Jefferson to André Limozin, 13 June 1786 (Jefferson Papers)
On receipt of your letter of May 21. I gave the notice you desired to Mr. Walpole, who, I doubt not, has written you on the subject. I thank you for your care of the trunks and box of books, as well as for your information that the ship Clementine will sail shortly for Norfolk in Virginia. In consequence of this I have sent by the Diligence d’eau a box containing a model in plaister for the...
53From Thomas Jefferson to André Limozin, 17 July 1787 (Jefferson Papers)
I did not know till last night that my bookseller had sent off the three boxes of books which I had mentioned in a former letter that I should take the liberty of addressing to your care. I will beg the favor of you to send them all by the next packet to New-York, ordering them all to be delivered to Mr. Madison, whose address is on the box marked I.M. No. 4. and who will take charge of the...
54From 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. The Acquit a caution is now inclosed. My long absence in the spring of the year and close occupation since my return had occasioned a want of attention to the advances you have been...
55From Thomas Jefferson to André Limozin, 2 January 1788 (Jefferson Papers)
You will receive herewith a letter from me [enclosing] a letter from the Comptroller general on the subject of our tobacco and an Arret on our other articles of commerce. I send a very large bundle of them by post, addressed to Mr. Jay, which I beg you to forward by the Juno, Capt. Jenkins, who is probably not yet sailed. They were not yet printed when my courier set off yesterday. I have the...
56From Thomas Jefferson to André Limozin, 17 May 1788 (Jefferson Papers)
I had the honor of writing to you on the 4th. instant. Since that I have received a letter from Dunkirk informing me that my boxes of plants are coming on by land. You will not have the trouble therefore of receiving and forwarding them: and I am happy in every occasion of sparing you trouble, of which I am obliged to give you so much and so often.—Messrs. Van Staphorsts of Amsterdam, by a...

58From Thomas Jefferson to André Limozin, 27 March 1788 (Jefferson Papers)
Messieurs Van Staphorst will forward from this place to Havre two boxes for me, which I have taken the liberty of addressing to your care. One contains iron ware which cost here 13. gilders, and I suppose must pay duties accordingly. The other contains cups for tea, coffee and chocolate of East India porcelaine. This being prohibited, I must leave to you the method of conveying it to my house...
59From Thomas Jefferson to André Limozin, 3 December 1788 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of Nov. 30. is duly received. The bounty given by this government on wheat coming from the United states is thirty sols the quintal, and on flour forty sous the quintal, for all which shall arrive between the 15th. of February and 30th. of June. The vessels bringing the same are exempted du droit de fret pour raison desdites importations. The late proceedings in Poland may possibly...
60From Thomas Jefferson to André Limozin, 31 August 1787 (Jefferson Papers)
I have duly received your favors of the 19th. and 24th. of August and the box of papers mentioned in the last are at the Syndic chamber from which I shall receive them to-day. Appearances for a little while had taken more the aspect of war, but the hopes of a continuance of the peace prevail at this moment, and are perhaps stronger than when I wrote you last. The approach of autumn and winter...
