26712Joseph C. Cabell to Thomas Jefferson, 11 February 1823 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor by M r Brokenbrough has been duly received. I have shewn it to some members for the purpose of shewing evincing the willingness of the board to meet all charges. But the letter of Oldham made no impression here; and I believe it was met so promptly, there has been no attempt to use it for mischievous purposes. It deserves, in my opinion, no serious notice from any one. M r...

I have got thus far on my way home, and entrust to the neighbouring post office, your letters on Finance, which I hope will safely reach you. I must beg your pardon for having detained them longer than the period of my engagement. My private business in the lower country took up much more time than I had anticipated, and I was compelled to keep your letters thus long in order thoroughly to...

Your favor of April 15th reached me on yesterday at this place. It had gone on to Warminster when I last had the pleasure of seeing you at Monticello, and was forwarded thence by the mail to Norfolk. I cannot perceive any good ground of objection to the purchase of M r Perry’s land, in the manner you propose. On the contrary, I give to the measure my most hearty approbation. I am very...

I wrote you a note from Wills’s in Fluvanna on my way up, in which I mentioned my intention to call on you on my return to the Lower Country.
