1To Thomas Jefferson from Lewis Littlepage, 2[1 January 1786] (Jefferson Papers)
Mr. Littlepage has the honor to present his most respectful compliments to his Excellency. He regrets that some indispensible affairs will not permit him to receive his Excellency’s orders in person before his departure, which will take place tomorrow. As Mr. Littlepage requested that the answers to the letter which he had the honor to lay before Congress might be transmitted to the Minister...
2To Thomas Jefferson from Lewis Littlepage, 12 July 1786 (Jefferson Papers)
Having recieved no intelligence from Virginia respecting the affair which Governor Henry entrusted to me, the result of which I had the honor to communicate to your Excellency in Paris, I cannot conceal my uneasiness upon that point, and must entreat you to inform me whether it has as yet been settled to your satisfaction. I at the same time repeat my former offers upon that subject and will...
3To Thomas Jefferson from Lewis Littlepage, 12 September 1786 (Jefferson Papers)
Your silence upon the subject of the sum due from me to your Excellency upon the account of the State of Virginia, leaves too much room to apprehend some unforeseen embarrassment in the repayment of it to Mr. Henry. In consequence I have inclosed a bill of exchange to that amount to the Marquis de La Fayette, who will take up my bill in your Excellency’s hands. I must at the same time intreat...
4From Thomas Jefferson to Lewis Littlepage, 10 October 1786 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of July 12 did not come [to hand until the 3]d of Sep., a very few days after which I incurred the accident of a dislocated wrist which for some time interrupted my attention to affairs. I now receive that of Sep. 12 and am still able to write with the left hand only. In my first letter to the Governor of Virginia after your arrival in Paris I informed him of the circumstances which...
5From Thomas Jefferson to Lewis Littlepage, 12 August 1787 (Jefferson Papers)
I had the honour to inform you in a former letter that until we should know whether your uncle should have replaced to the Governor of Virginia the money you had desired him to replace, we would decline availing ourselves here of the bill of exchange you have been pleased to forward to the M. de la Fayette on Messrs. Tourton & Ravel. Having lately received a letter from the Governor informing...

7To Thomas Jefferson from Lewis Littlepage, 12 February 1789 (Jefferson Papers)
I have the honor to transmit to you the inclosed paquet from Admiral Jones, with a letter to the Marquis De la Fayette; both of which have been in my care since the time of my departure from the Russian army before Oczakow. The delay has by no means proceeded from inattention, but in great part from the uncertainty of my own situation, and the want of a safe opportunity. You are doubtless...
8From Thomas Jefferson to Lewis Littlepage, 8 May 1789 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of Feb. 12. has been duly received, and in exchange for it’s information, I shall give you that which you desire relative to American affairs. Those of Europe you can learn from other sources. All our states acceded unconditionally to the new constitution except N. Carolina and Rhode island. The latter rejects it in toto. N. Carolina neither rejected nor received it, but asked...
9To Thomas Jefferson from Lewis Littlepage, 5 March 1791 (Jefferson Papers)
I take the liberty of writing to you to request that you would inform me, by the earliest opportunity, whether the President has ever recieved a letter which I wrote to him from Madrid, of the 25th: February 1790. I inclosed it by a private opportunity to the Marquis De La Fayette, who assures me it was forwarded in due time, but the reception has never been intimated to either him, or me,...
10To Thomas Jefferson from Lewis Littlepage, 23 March 1791 (Jefferson Papers)
Paris, 23 Mch. 1791. TJ will no doubt share his regret in recalling that “we were the principal means of engaging” John Paul Jones to accept Russian proposals in 1788. “Never were more brilliant prospects held forth to an individual, and never individual better calculated to attain them.” Campaign on the Liman in 1788 added luster to Russian arms and ought to have fixed forever the fame and...
