1To Thomas Jefferson from Isaac Cox Barnet, 10 September 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
Although it may appear presumptuous in me to adress myself directly to the first magistrate of my Country, particularly when my duty points out one of your executive departments as the regular chanel through which all public communications should be made, yet I hope sir, that the liberty I now take, may not be construed as an informality wanting in respectfull deference to the established...
2To Thomas Jefferson from Isaac Cox Barnet, 14 July 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
Persuaded that my removal from the Agency of this Port was owing to some circumstance connected with the general system of your administration—and not to your personal indisposition towards me.—Conscious that my fidelity and Zeal in the service of my Country during more than five years, still give me a claim on Executive patronage—I have once more presumed to address you on the subject. You...
3To Thomas Jefferson from Isaac Cox Barnet, 10 September 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
I received with lively sensibility, the honourable mark of confidence and good opinion you have been pleased to confer upon me by appointing me to the Commercial Agency of Antwerp.— It was the more impressive from my having received no previous notice from any person and I esteem it the more flattering from a hope that my past conduct has merited your approbation and been the principal agent...
4From Thomas Jefferson to Isaac Cox Barnet, 10 May 1803 (Jefferson Papers)
I have asked the favor of mr Skipwith, our Consul at Paris to procure & forward me some wines from Champagne & Burgundy which I have specially pointed out to him. I have desired him to dispatch those of Champagne immediately, because they will be pressingly wanting, but not to forward those of Burgundy till autumn because they cannot stand either the heat of a summer transportation or cold of...
5To Thomas Jefferson from Isaac Cox Barnet, 31 December 1804 (Jefferson Papers)
So long as there be no change in our consular establishment in Europe—or so long as a neighbouring Power shall exercise the means of shutting out our Vessels from the port you have been pleased to confide to my care,—I shall be debarred the opportunity of gaining that subsistence which moderate wants and a long faithful agency authorize me to hope for.—And while I seize this occasion to...
6To Thomas Jefferson from Isaac Cox Barnet, 20 February 1806 (Jefferson Papers)
Mr. de Salemberi having requested me to forward the enclosed Letter under my cover, I beg leave to seize the occasion to draw towards me for a moment the eye of the man on whose good opinion my happiness so materially depends. Not Sir, merely as the Magistrate upon whose pleasure my political existence as an officer rests, for I feel confident that this existence will be prolonged in...
7To Thomas Jefferson from Isaac Cox Barnet, 20 February 1806 (Jefferson Papers)
General Kosiusko having mentioned, a few days ago his writing to Mr. Jefferson (about the commencement of his Presidency), on the subject of dispersing information more generally among the People—and the fact of my friend William Maclure having engaged, at his own expense—a Professor (Mr. Neef) to go out to the United States for the purpose of instructing Children according to the Method of...
8Isaac Cox Barnet to Thomas Jefferson, 21 November 1812 (Jefferson Papers)
By M r Skipwith when he quitted the functions he had so many years and so faithfully exercised in this Country— I took the liberty of sending for your acceptance —the two first volumes of Peron’s Voyage to New Holland. I hope they were received and that they were a welcome tribute of my respect. The two last volumes have not yet appeared—but shall be forwarded as soon as they can be had. My...
9Thomas Jefferson to Isaac Cox Barnet, 14 December 1813 (Jefferson Papers)
My interior situation among the mountains and very far from any seaport, renders it extremely difficult for me to learn when vessels are going from any port of the United States to France , which might offer a tolerably safe conveyance for letters. this makes me a very tardy correspondent with that side of the water, and must be my apology for having so long delayed acknoleging the reciept of...
10Isaac Cox Barnet to Thomas Jefferson, 23 September 1817 (Jefferson Papers)
I have the honor to transmit to you—herewith—a letter received by me yesterday from General Kosciuszko . General La Fayette is in town and in good health—He honored me with a call day before yesterday. His friends are exerting themselves to make a Deputy of him and the ministerialists are most actively engaged on their side to avort his election … Several libellous pamphlets have been...
