1From James Madison to David Ramsay, 20 September 1809 (Madison Papers)
I have received the Resolutions of the Meeting of Citizens in Charlestown, on the 5th. instant, covered by your favor of the same date. These Resolutions comprize too many circumstances enhancing the value of the patriotism they breathe, not to afford particular satisfaction. However a difference of views may be indulged on subordinate questions of policy, a Union of all, on such as evidently...
2From John Adams to David Ramsay, 2 December 1802 (Adams Papers)
You may very justly be surprised to receive under this date my acknowledgment & thanks for your review of the improvements, progress & state of medicine in the eighteenth century.

Medicine anatomy chemistry &...
3From Thomas Jefferson to David Ramsay, 27 June 1790 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of April 12. came safely to hand, and permit me to thank you for the copy of your history which I have received from Allen, and hope to have the pleasure of reading in a few days. When the last packet left England there was great appearance of a rupture with Spain. The latter will probably go far in concession, if concession will parry a war. If it cannot, I think France will engage...
4From George Washington to David Ramsay, 3 June 1790 (Washington Papers)
A copy of your history of the american Revolution has been presented to me by Mr Allen of this city, in compliance as he informs me with your orders. I therefore beg, Sir, that you will accept my acknowledgments and best thanks for this mark of polite attention, from which I expect to derive much pleasure and satisfaction in the perusal, with very great esteem, I am Sir, your most obedient...
5From Thomas Jefferson to David Ramsay, 18 September 1789 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of April 8. by Mr. Cutting came duly to hand. Being near the time of my departure for America it was impracticable to obtain from Constantinople the information relative to the demand and price of rice there. I wrote therefore to a merchant of Marseilles, and I inclose you a copy of his answer. When I return in the spring I may be able to get information from Constantinople itself....
6From Thomas Jefferson to David Ramsay, 18 June 1789 (Jefferson Papers)
At the request of a gentleman of this country I take the liberty of inclosing you a note relative to two persons in whom he is interested, and to ask you to take the trouble of enquiring after them, and of communicating to me such information as you may be able to obtain. Your letter if sent to Mr. Jay’s office will be sure to find me whether in Europe or America; for I am in hourly...
7From Thomas Jefferson to David Ramsay, 23 August 1788 (Jefferson Papers)
The bearer hereof, Mr. John Brown Cutting, proposing to go to Charleston, I take the liberty of introducing him to your acquaintance and attentions. His merit and talents will justify me in taking this liberty, as they will fully recommend him to your esteem, while I am equally assured he will find in you what will render it reciprocal. He is authorised to ask from your state some arrangements...

9From Thomas Jefferson to David Ramsay, 8 August 1787 (Jefferson Papers)
I have duly received your favor accompanying that of Mr. Van bram Houckgeete on the subject of a cask of snuff sent by him to Bordeaux. The importation of that article is prohibited by the laws of France on pain of fine and forfeiture of the article to the Farmers general. His snuff was seized and condemned on due process of law. He sais he was ignorant of the law, and I believe it: his...
