1To Alexander Hamilton from James McHenry, 14 April 1793 (Hamilton Papers)
Though exceedingly mortified and hurt at Mr. Perry’s being refused that inspectorship I did not once think of blaming you. I ascribed it to the peculiarity of your situation and the enmity of those who were near you, originating in the part that gentleman had taken against them. The Tilghmans I believe influenced Coxe. Coxe made the thing an object and you had those of greater magnitude to...
2From James Madison to James Monroe, 14 April 1793 (Madison Papers)
I understand by the waggoner charged with bringing up our several articles from Fredericksburg and who returned on friday that the Vessel had not sailed from Philada. when last heard of; but was expected at Fredg. by the time of his getting down again. As he set out with another load immediately, he is probably there by this time, and may be looked for here about wednesday or thursday. It will...
3From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Bell, 14 April 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
My business here is of such a nature as to oblige me for long intervals to put aside all my private matters, and only to take them up at times when I have a little glimmering of leisure. Hence an almost total abandonment of my pecuniary interests, in cases often of real magnitude: and hence the long delay of answering your favor of Jan. 30. received two months ago. Tho’ I cannot view Mary’s...
4From Thomas Jefferson to Dabney Carr, 14 April 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
Having expected to have seen you in Virginia before this, I had not proposed the plan of your law reading to you: but as I do not now expect to be there till the summer or fall, I think it will be necessary for you to begin it without awaiting my return. Mr. Maury thought you were ripe for leaving him last fall. I would now therefore advise you to go to your mother’s and pursue there through...
5From Thomas Jefferson to Martha Jefferson Carr, 14 April 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
Your bill for £10–5 in favor of Mr. Austin has been presented and paid. It greives me to inform you I am not able to furnish the residue of the sum you desired in any short time. I never in my life had such a right to be flush in money as at present, and yet never was so mortifyingly bare and helpless. I had a right to receive £800. in Richmond under an execution, and by some evasion of law, I...
6From Thomas Jefferson to Peter Carr, 14 April 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
The letter you mention to have written, never came to my hands; and indeed I have thought you a very lazy fellow to have let me hear from you so seldom. But if you will never give any other proof of laziness, I will pardon you this one. I have duly received my sister’s letter, and have written to her to-day a second time in answer to it. I also write to Dabney the inclosed letter, advising him...
7From Thomas Jefferson to John Wayles Eppes, 14 April 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
Your departure hence is so recent that nothing has occurred worth communicating to you. The object of the present letter is merely to inclose to you an account presented me by Peter Gordon the shoemaker, who supposed you had forgotten him. As I know that there is sometimes a forgetfulness on the side of the Creditor, I told him I would pay the account if you should admit it to be just. You...
8From Thomas Jefferson to John Garland Jefferson, 14 April 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
Your letter of Mar. 31. came duly to hand on the 9th. inst. Having been induced, for particular reasons, to continue a while longer in my office, I should have written to you but that I have been occupied with removing from the town a little way into the country. I am much pleased to see that you are so nearly through the course of reading I had proposed to you. It proves your industry,...
9To Thomas Jefferson from J. Wheatcroft, 14 April 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
I do my self the honour to inclose you a series of News papers, from the date of my last envoy . It is a new established paper and reckoned an exceedinly good one, I have changed it for the Moniter, as our inteligence in this paper is generaly a Day newer. If you should have received the same paper from any other Friend, hope this will still be an acceptable present to any of your acquaintance...
