156802From Thomas Jefferson to Willink & Van Staphorst, 25 March 1789 (Jefferson Papers)
I find by your favor of the 19th. inst. that we are not likely to agree in opinion as to the intentions of Congress and the board of Treasury; for it is their intention which forms the law for us both. I have asked of you the money for the medals and another purpose because I thought, and still think, it was their intention that these purposes should be executed in their turn: you have refused...
156803From Thomas Jefferson to Willink & Van Staphorst, 29 March 1788 (Jefferson Papers)
Yourselves Mr. Adams and myself have concurred in agreeing that Mr. Dumas’s situation required the [immediate payment of the] arrears of salary due to him. These arrears are 11516 florins [according] to an account rendered by him. Had the board of treasury been on the spot they would probably have thought as we do. However their letter of Feb. 20. does not leave a liberty to pay to him this...
156804From Thomas Jefferson to Willink & Van Staphorst, 30 December 1787 (Jefferson Papers)
I receive this day your favor of the 24th. instant. I had before received from Mr. Adams a letter approving of the application of so much of the money in your hands to the paiment of Fizeaux’ debt, if there were so much. He presumed my draught on you would suffice, but offered to join if you required it. However from what you say in your last letter I have concluded to refer it to the board of...
156805From Thomas Jefferson to Willink & Van Staphorst, 30 August 1788 (Jefferson Papers)
Mr. Carmichael informs me that he has drawn on you for 4614₶–3–6 for salary due to him. I have only to observe on this occasion that in the Estimate which Mr. Adams and myself left with you, the article of 4000₶ monthly for the diplomatic establishment was meant to include the demands for salary and incidental expences of Mr. Carmichael, Mr. Dumas and myself, and that these demands, including...

156807From Thomas Jefferson to Willink & Van Staphorst, 11 March 1789 (Jefferson Papers)
In your letter of the 2d. instant you refer me to a resolution of Congress which appropriates the loans of 1787. and 1788. to the paiment of interest to the year 1790 and the residue to the salaries of their ministers and the contingent expences which may arise in Europe, and you suppose that this manner of wording the resolution postpones the articles of salaries and contingencies to that of...

156809From Thomas Jefferson to Willink & Van Staphorst, 4 November 1788 (Jefferson Papers)
I am honored with your letter of Octob. 16. in answer to mine of Oct. 3. by which I find we are not to count on the immediate filling up of the last loan. There are important purposes which ought not to remain unexecuted a moment after money sufficient for them shall be obtained. In order to judge of this it will be necessary for me to know from time to time the state of the funds in your...
156810From Thomas Jefferson to Willink & Van Staphorst, 15 September 1787 (Jefferson Papers)
During my absence from this place, on a journey of three or four months, the funds placed here by the Board of Treasury for support of the American legation at this court, and for other ordinary expences, became exhausted. It was not known to me till my return and I immediately gave notice to the Board of treasury. But as it would necessarily be three or four months before I could get an...
