56792From Thomas Jefferson to James Cheetham, 17 January 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of Dec. 29. was recieved in due time. although it is all important for public as well as personal considerations, that I should recieve information of every interesting occurrence, yet it is little in my power to entitle myself to it by regular correspondence on my part. in fact it is rare I can answer a private letter at all, being for the most part obliged to leave even my best...

56800From Thomas Jefferson to Kennebec County, Maine, Constitutional Republicans, 16 January 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
The address you have been pleased to forward me from the Constitutional republicans of the county of Kennebeck has been duly recieved, and with that sincere satisfaction which expressions of so much confidence are calculated to inspire. the difference of political opinion which too much divided us, some time past, is, I hope, yielding to the evidences daily arising that the great bulk of our...
