6921Thomas Jefferson to Frederick W. Hatch, 22 April 1823 (Jefferson Papers)
I have examined the proposed constitution of the Library society , which I like well, and now return, suggesting only some doubts on particular parts. Art. 9. ‘the committee to purchase such books as shall be agreed upon by the shareholders .’ the committee of 7. will be more likely to make a good choice, than the 200. Art. 11. does not say distinctly whether all, or what, votes are to be...

6926To John Adams from Caesar Augustus Rodney, 20 April 1823 (Adams Papers)
I hope the occasion will induce you to pardon this trespass, on the tranquility of your retirement. The original letter, of which the enclosed is a copy, was lent, some years since, to a friend, who, by accident, mislaid it, and did not find it, until lately, when he returned it to me. This paper relates to the occurrences of that day, the most important, perhaps, in history, on which the...

Your Letter is this moment brought me and I really cannot conceive what you mean my Dear Charles by John’s thirteen Letter a week or who the numerous correspondents can be from whom he receives them—I am perfectly sure that neither of you could take time to read them much less to answer them—The roads have been so bad that the course of the Mails has been much interrupted and I fear I have not...

The money you put into my hands to meet and adjust the claims of Mr Mackay, I have returned in consequence of my not finding that gentleman at Orange Court House, as I expected, he having left it the evening before I saw you. I have written to Mr. J. S. Barbour, as I informed you I intended, and if he is not lost to all feeling of sensibility and moral rectitude, I am in hopes he will transmit...
