41To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Mann Randolph, Jr., 14 August 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
I have set George and his company to work in the canal according to your desire: Jupiter is with them and is constantly employed in blowing the rock at the upper end which it was their first business to lay bare for him. Part of the timber intended for the house has been brought up, and the remainder will be in place before the middle of next month. The two houses for the servants I am sorry...
42To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Mann Randolph, Jr., 29 August 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
We received two packets from you on the 20. inst. one of July 21. and another of Aug: 11. The former thro’ the negligence of the post-master somewhere, was sent to Kentucké. Some accident of this kind has happened probably to your last, as it did not come to Charlottesville in the mail. Your friend Mr. Madison has spent several days in our neighbourhood: he did us the honor of a visit on...
43To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Mann Randolph, Jr., 31 August 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
Mr. Randolph arrived yesterday with the packet for Mr. Madison which I delivered immediately to a trusty messenger, charging him to put it into no hands, but those of Mr. Madison himself. The messenger was directed to go first to Colo. Monroes and afterwards to Wilson Nicolases, as I knew Mr. Madison was in the county but knew not which of these places he was at. My Brother, who came yesterday...
44To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Mann Randolph, Jr., 31 October 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
Altho I know your time is allready so completely taken up, with important public concerns, that you are obliged to neglect your own private matters, allmost totally, I cannot refrain from asking a small part of it, for an affair of very considerable consequence, to myself and my family. I have mentioned to you before, tho perhaps I never related the particulars, that the land in Henrico ,...

I have inclosed and addressed to you today the papers you left with Patsy except the pamphlet (No. 21. The political state of Europe: July.) which I take the liberty to keep till the next post that I may have the satisfaction of reading it: I did not see these papers till today.

46To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Mann Randolph, Jr., 14 November 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
The anxiety we allways feel in your absence has become quite painfull from our having failed every post since your departure, to recieve tidings of you. We impute it to obstructions in the communication, and trust that we shall enjoy the pleasure of knowing that you are well, next tuesday. I have just received a melancholy summons to attend my Father, who, I am much afraid, from what I learn,...
47To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Mann Randolph, Jr., 30 November 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
The news of my fathers death must have reached you before this thro’ the ordinary channels. Having been detained a day or two longer at Monticello than I expected when I wrote to you I did not arrive time enough to have any hand in the drawing of his will which was done by Colo. Harvie alone. As might have been expected from him, (the beggary of the younger children being likely to be more...
48To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Mann Randolph, Jr., 19 December 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
I received yesterday yours of the 8. inst: containing Mr. Le Roys letter of the 26. Nov. for the procurement and communication of which I return you many thanks. It relieved me from an apprehension I had begun to entertain that the protested bill of Rosses might be in considerable part swallowed up by an open Accompt, in which case I might have suffered and an important credit, the price of...
