158011Thomas Jefferson to Patrick Gibson, 15 March 1812 (Jefferson Papers)
I safely recieved the clover seed by mr Peyton’s boat Johnson again disappointed me in taking down 36. barrels of my flour, instead of the full load of both his boats. I shall no longer trust to him alone therefore, but on the return of the Milton boats (all of which went down at the same time) shall employ others to take down the whole. in truth I begin to be uneasy lest the market should...

158013Thomas Jefferson to John Low, 15 March 1812 (Jefferson Papers)
Your letter of Mar. 2. is just now recieved; the former one, after long lingering on the road, had been also recieved, and had compleatly removed all doubts as to my subscription. I presume it had taken place probably 9. or 10. years ago, before the multitude of those applications had obliged me to keep an account of them. the lapse of time and other occupations had compleatly erased it from...

158015To James Madison from William Tatham, 16 March 1812 (Madison Papers)
The conspiracy which has transpired northwardly, as just announced in the public prints, calls on every citizen to lend a helping hand towards defeating such plots, or repelling their evil consequences: I am stimulated by this consideration to mutilate my private collection of scarce and valuable documents, in favor of government; believing that, in the event of an explanation which is...

158017Thomas Jefferson to Henry Foxall, 16 March 1812 (Jefferson Papers)
The stove arrived safely; I have set it up and find it to answer perfectly. the room is very small where it is placed, and is fully warmed by it in a few minutes. a room of larger size would require the stove to be larger. I certainly like it better than any stove I have ever seen, & not doubting that when it becomes known it will be in great demand, I expect you will find it worth while to...
