1From Thomas Jefferson to Philip Mazzei, 7 January 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
My last to you was of the 2d. of August: since which’I have recieved yours of June 4. and Sep. 3. The letter to M. de Rieux, inclosed in the last, has been forwarded, and you may be assured of every aid of counsel I can give him. His own dispositions are good and prudent, and his industry exemplary.—I spoke with Mr. Madison yesterday on Dohrman’s affair. Nothing new has arisen on it since my...
2From Thomas Jefferson to Philip Mazzei, 31 January 1796 (Jefferson Papers)
It is very long since I heard from you unless it be an exception that I received within these two or three days for the first time your letters of May 23. 1792. and Feb. 11. 1793. the contents of which shall be attended to. Nor have I for a long time heard from Messrs. Van Staphorsts & Hubbard. My letters to you of May and Sep. last will have informed you that at the same dates I remitted to...
3From Thomas Jefferson to Philip Mazzei, 8 September 1795 (Jefferson Papers)
The first copy of my letter of May 30. went soon after that date. A second copy accompanies this. Soon after that date I received letters from Mr. Blair and Mr. Madison, extracts from which I now inclose you. By that from Mr. Madison you will percieve that Dohrman alledges some deductions from the sum claimed. If he accedes to Mr. Madison’s proposition of paying up what he acknoleges due, the...
4From Thomas Jefferson to Philip Mazzei, 30 May 1795 (Jefferson Papers)
It is long since I ought to have acknoleged your two last favors of May 19. and Nov. 18. 93. and could I have foreseen that waiting for little circumstances would have delayed my answer from week to week and month to month, I should have cut them short. The letters came very late to my hands, a little before I left my office, when every thing of course was hurry. After I returned home, in...
5From Thomas Jefferson to Philip Mazzei, 2 August 1791 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of Sep. 3. 1790. came to hand Dec. 15. and that of Apr. 12. is just recieved. I inclose you a letter from Dohrman forwarded me by Mr. Madison from New York. He thinks that Dohrman’s expectations of making payment, within any short time, are not to be counted on, but that the land mortgaged is a solid security for the debt ultimately.—I inclose you a copy of Mr. Blair’s account. He...
6I. Thomas Jefferson to Philip Mazzei, 24 April 1796 (Jefferson Papers)
Your letter of Oct. 26. 1795. is just recieved and gives me the first information that the bills forwarded for you to V.S. … & H. of Amsterdam on W. Anderson for £39.17.10 1/2 and on George Barclay for £70.8.6. both of London have been protested . I immediately write to the drawers to secure the money if still unpaid. I wonder I have never had a letter from our friends of Amsterdam on that...
7From Thomas Jefferson to Philip Mazzei, 5 April 1790 (Jefferson Papers)
On my arrival in Virginia after a short and pleasant passage I found my name announced in the newspapers as Secretary of state. I was surprised because I had answered negatively to the question whether I would accept any post in the domestic administration. I did not yet know that that answer had been so long on it’s way that the nomination had taken place. Still I thought I should easily...
