51From Thomas Jefferson to Wilson Cary Nicholas, 24 February 1808 (Jefferson Papers)
I some time ago recieved a letter from Burgess Griffin desiring me to pay to you the amount of his crop of tobacco. he happens not to have named the amount, and I left his papers at Monticello which would have informed me of it. my memory tells me it was two hundred and some odd dollars, but the exact sum I cannot recollect. perhaps he has named it to you. if so, be so good as to inform me of...
52Thomas Jefferson to Wilson Cary Nicholas, 9 August 1815 (Jefferson Papers)
I duly recieved your two favors of the 3. & 6 th . I was engaged in the moment in preparing some necessary orders before my departure to see my brother , and could not therefore immediately answer them. the circumstances respecting Appleton , and my particular d connection with them I knew must be unknown to you & of course could not be under your view in asking my interference. I do not yet...
53From Thomas Jefferson to Wilson Cary Nicholas, 22 December 1808 (Jefferson Papers)
I always consider it as the most friendly office which can be rendered me, to be informed of any thing which is going amiss, and which I can remedy. I had known that there had been a very blameable failure in the cloathing department, which had not become known so as to be remedied, till the beginning of October. but I had believed that the remedy had then been applied with as much diligence...
54Thomas Jefferson to Wilson Cary Nicholas, 29 May 1819 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of the 20 th is recieved, and the great accomodation at the Farmer’s bank , warmly acknoleged; for without it I hardly know how I should have got along; and altho’ the additional 1000.D. from the US. bank will not be wanting longer than it’s term of payment and can be replaced with certainty from before that from other funds, yet I find it necessary for draughts on mr Gibson which...
55From Thomas Jefferson to Wilson Cary Nicholas, 5 September 1799 (Jefferson Papers)
Your’s of Aug. 30. 99. came duly to hand. it was with great regret we gave up the hope of seeing you here, but could not but consider the obstacle as legitimate. I had written to mr M. as I had before informed you , and had stated to him some general ideas for consideration & consultation when we should meet. I thought something essentially necessary to be said in order to avoid the inference...
56Thomas Jefferson to Wilson Cary Nicholas, 24 August 1819 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of the 17 th came to hand yesterday, by which I percieve that mine of the 11 th and 17 th were still to be recieved. your’s of the 17 th puts my mind perfectly at ease. I think with you it will be better to place the debt in the form of a bond, and will join you in one on my return. in the mean while I have sent on the notes to mr Marx , to give us time. for the 3 d
57From Thomas Jefferson to Wilson Cary Nicholas, 26 August 1799 (Jefferson Papers)
I am deeply impressed with the importance of Virginia & Kentuckey pursuing the same tract at the ensuing sessions of their legislatures. your going thither furnishes a valuable opportunity of effecting it, and as mr Madison will be at our assembly as well as yourself, I thought it important to procure a meeting between you. I therefore wrote to propose to him a ride to this place on Saturday...
58From Thomas Jefferson to Wilson Cary Nicholas, 23 November 1794 (Jefferson Papers)
I take the liberty of inclosing for your perusal and consideration a proposal from a Mr. D’Ivernois, a Genevan, of considerable distinction for science and patriotism, and that too of the republican kind, tho you will see that he does not carry it so far as our friends of the National assembly of France. While I was at Paris, I knew him as an exile for his democratic principles, the...
59From Thomas Jefferson to Wilson Cary Nicholas, 19 August 1796 (Jefferson Papers)
I now inclose you the draught you desired, which I have endeavored to arrange according to the ideas you expressed, of having the entry, not thro’ a principal room as in Mr. Cocke’s house, but at the cross passage. The notes which accompany the draught will explain it. I will add that it would be possible to contract the plan from front to back by giving less extent in that direction to the...
