1Albert Gallatin to James Madison, 9 April 1831 (Madison Papers)
I laid your’s and Mr Richardson’s letter before the Council of our incipient University at their monthly meeting, and now return that of Mr R. We have not yet obtained a Charter and cannot expect any pecuniary assistance either from the State or City. We have in that respect great difficulties to encounter and probably still greater from the Sectarian influence, whether that which supports or...
2To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 29 June 1823 (Jefferson Papers)
I arrived here with my family on the 24 th instant after a prosperous voyage of 34 days from Havre: but I could not open my baggage till yesterday. By this day’s mail I send five packets directed to you, and another will accompany this letter. Of the state of your health I have not lately heard, but hope that you have recovered & do not sensibly feel the effects of your accident. I am well...
3To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 15 February 1809 (Jefferson Papers)
The repeated neglects on the part of Mr Neufville Comr. of loans for S. Carolina to render his accounts, as stated in the written memorandum from the Comptroller’s office, render a delinquency probable & a removal necessary. The enclosed letter from Mr Gaillard contains the names of several persons recommended for successors. Respectfully submitted DNA : RG 59—LAR—Letters of Application and...
4To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 15 February 1809 (Jefferson Papers)
Van Pradelles register is dead Persons recommended Grymes dist. atty. with 600 dollars only Robertson Secy. 2000 dollars & Commr. Johnson— Lewis judge & Commisr. I think that Grymes is entitled to the preference; for if Robertson be appointed & Grymes made Commr. in his place, it will be a mere temporary appointmt. and Robertson would have two better permanent offices. The Register &...
5To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 13 February 1809 (Jefferson Papers)
I do not recollect that any application was made by Mr Fitzhugh in behalf of his son. There is not however any vacancy in my office, nor do I think it probable that any will soon occur; for, on account of the encrease of business arising from the embargo, I engaged an additional clerk last summer; and there will be of course one more than is necessary when the embargo is repealed. You may...
6To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 4 February 1809 (Jefferson Papers)
Since I saw you, I have received the two enclosures—one from Hodge Surveyor of Newbury port, a federalist who had always done his duty and whom we meant to preserve—the other from Little a moderate federalist who confirms the bad character of Cogswell & speaks in favour of Marquand whom Gen. Dearborn had originally recommended as Collector—You had concluded to keep Cross the collector some...
7To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 2 February 1809 (Jefferson Papers)
I enclose the list of nominations for collectors &a. in Massachussets, and also for Providence & Champlain. There is a vacancy in New Jersey; & probably two more will occur. But as some time must elapse before we can act on these, I think it best that the others should not on that account be delayed. Respectfully Your obedt. Servt. I have omitted in the list. Isaac Carter of Massts. Surveyor...

9To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 19 January 1809 (Jefferson Papers)
The transactions at Jersey (Powles hook) are certainly infamous. The Surveyor Williams a federalist has cleared & will continue to clear cotton stored there. We have no successor ready; but we must stop his career. Permit me to announce that he is dismissed. The Collector of Amboy may in the mean while & until we have a successor ready, manage the business. Respectfully Your obedt. Servt. DLC...
