4201From Thomas Jefferson to James Jackson, 4 May 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
I recieved yesterday your favor of the 1st. inst. it is so essential to the public good, to the credit of the administration and of republicanism itself that the transaction of the public affairs be committed to the best men only, that when a charge is brought openly before the public against one by name whom I have appointed, I think it my duty to look into the fact and correct it if true, or...

You will probably have seen in the Washington federalist of April 30. mr Mitchell appointed Atty of Georgia on your recommendation , denoted a man of most infamous character. this is merely calling of hard names which I never notice. but the editors pretend that they are possessed of a fact which is too bad for publication . whether the fact be of such a nature as to make it the duty of the...
4203From James Madison to John G. Jackson, [ca. 5 September 1806] (Madison Papers)
I recd. duly yours of inclosing $300. The little delay has been no wise inconvenient. I regret only that I omitted to give you notice that there was no occasion for your being in a hurry.

Nothing had occurred at either place from which the result could be known; on the other hand nothing particularly inauspicious to...
4204From James Madison to John G. Jackson, 4 May 1805 (Madison Papers)
I have duly recd. your favor of the 29th. ulto. with the printed inclosures. I can not doubt from the statement you give on the subject of the election, that the issue will be satisfactory.

The prev<a>lence of Westerly winds, with external causes imperfectly known continue to suspend the information long looked for...

Having sent you a part of the papers relating to the rupture between G. B. & Spain, I inclose the sequel so far as it has been yet published in G. Britain.

Your letters by the mail of last night, & the preceding week recd. at the same time, have relieved us in some degree from the distress produced by that of anterior date; but still leave us full of anxiety.
