At Boston, from which I am now returning on my way to New York, a gentleman of much Information expressed a wish to me that some of the southern Members would, before the arming bill passes or without Delay, introduce a Bill for a Law in perfect conformity to the British Navigation Act.

143To Thomas Jefferson from Luther Martin, 3 February 1798 (Jefferson Papers)
Unaccustomed, Sir, to ask favors even from my friends, yet I feel myself under the necessity of soliciting your forgiveness for my apparent neglect, in suffering such a length of time to elapse since I last addressed myself to you; be assured, Sir, it is to be attributed to the pressure of my official and professional engagements, together with certain intervening duties, which I have been...
144To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Mann Randolph, 3 February 1798 (Jefferson Papers)
I visited Monticello yesterday and entered your room with great anxiety but was soon much comforted by finding little change in the position of the different things which are exposed to the eye: I had got the general order of the room very much in my mind from the many visits I had paid and am satisfied from its being so little broken that no great mischief has been done. Indeed the villain...

149To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 12 February 1798 (Jefferson Papers)
Mr. Fauchetts pamphlet was the last communication from you. Mine by Mr. Giles you doubtless have before this. We are here so barren of incident that we have nothing worthy yr. notice. We look to the admn. for the coloring we are to have of European or rather our affrs. with France, and we know enough of the admn. to know that it will be black or white according to circumstances. If for example...
150To Thomas Jefferson from Mann Page, 13 February 1798 (Jefferson Papers)
Since I wrote to you I have been so fortunate as to obtain such Proofs of the general Authenticity of your Publication in the Notes on Virginia, as will fully justify what you have said respecting Cresop’s Murder, & Logan’s Speech, & must entirely confute Mr. Martins impudent unfounded Assertions. I enclose them for your Satisfaction. You will no doubt wish to know who this Mr. Anderson is,...
