71Thomas Jefferson to Wilson Cary Nicholas, 11 August 1819 (Jefferson Papers)
Your letter of the 5 th finds me under the sever e st attack of rheumatism I have ever experienced. my limbs all swelled, their strength prostrate, & pain constant. but it fills me with affliction of another kind, very much on your account, and not small on my own. a call on me to the amount of my endorsements for you would indeed close my course by a catastrophe I had never contemplated. but...
72Thomas Jefferson to Wilson Cary Nicholas, 2 July 1819 (Jefferson Papers)
I have desired mr Brockenbrough to ask your advice as to the best means of remitting to mr Hollins 840.D. on account of the University to meet bills and advances which his present situation would otherwise render inconvenient to him. our money being in Richmond , I hope some means may be found to remit it to him immediately. I will with pleasure write to mr Madison on the subject of the office...

Your favor of yesterday is this moment recieved and furnishes me matter of real regret: because there is nothing just & honorable which I would not cheerfully do for yourself or any member of your family. but the case in question stands thus. while I lived in Paris , I became acquainted with Thomas Appleton of Boston , then a young man, and recommended him to the old Congress as Consul for...

76From Thomas Jefferson to Wilson Cary Nicholas, 22 September 1805 (Jefferson Papers)
In answer to a letter from mr Randolph on the subject of the judgment v. Robinson’s admn I had mentioned to him that the papers relating to it being at Washington I could not from memory say whether that judgment remained in my hands or was in the hands of mr Gallatin; but that on my arrival at Washington I would look into it & on consultation with mr Gallatin would do whatever the present...
77Thomas Jefferson to Wilson Cary Nicholas, 29 February 1816 (Jefferson Papers)
As the outer letter may be to go into different hands I place in a separate one my thanks for your kind offer of the comfortable quarters of your house in the event of my acting as a Director of the public works. but at the age of 73. volunteer journies are out of the question. those to Bedford are of necessity. for them however I chuse my own time, am there with one or two nights only...
