3701To Thomas Jefferson from James Thomson Callender, 12 April 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
I address this letter to you, by the advice of Mr Edmund Randolph. It had been understood that my fine of two hundred dollars was to be remitted. The late Marshall refused to return the money . It would be unnecessary to repeat the particulars of his refusal; because they were communicated some weeks ago, to Mr Lincoln, and because Mr Randolph has undertaken to explain them to you. I should...
3702To Thomas Jefferson from James Thomson Callender, 21 March 1798 (Jefferson Papers)
Your interference with respect to my getting payment in a certain quarter has not had even the smallest effect.

I have got, at length 19.—dols.—So want 15 & ⅝. besides my gratuitous attendance now in the 4th, &, as I believe, in the last week. For I will, if I Can only get the balance due , to answer some...

I inclose some newspapers, and Shall probably use the freedom of sending you by this same post A part of the second part of the 2d volume of The Prospect. The whole is written excepting the first Chapter.

3704To Thomas Jefferson from James Thomson Callender, 23 February 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
I am to get out of this place in ten days, upon my having paid a fine of two hundred dollars. The money is ready; but if I am to pay it, I shall be so much reduced in my finances, as hardly to be able to go up to Philadelphia. Mr. Jones has advised me to state the matter to you, with reference to a remission. I thought it my duty to do so; and under the supposition of that, I shall wait here...
3705To Thomas Jefferson from James Thomson Callender, 27 October 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
Along with this comes another letter, covering some newspaper pieces. I beg leave to inclose the last half Sheet but one of the pamphlet, being from 136 page to 144; and an uncorrected imperfect half Sheet of the conclusion; wanting the first page, which closed my hints for the conduct of the Assembly in my case. A half Sheet from p 120, to 128, I have never yet been able to get from the...
3706To Thomas Jefferson from James Thomson Callender, 5 January 180[1] (Jefferson Papers)
An uncommon alarm has been spread here that congress were to annul the Presidential election. I had sent to the Examiner a piece on that business, when upon the arrival of this news, I was advised to withdraw it, untill I should see if it was true! my answer was: “it is a part of my constitution, it is interwoven with my intellectual existence, that the greater opposition is, I become the more...

I expect that your remaining numbers of the History of 1796 have come duly to hand. The other copy will be ready for you on your return to town. I would not have intruded on you at this time about that; but am to request your indulgence for a few moments. I have begun another volume on American History; and it will be ready for the press in about a month. Having been in bad health, for a time,...
3708To Thomas Jefferson from James Thomson Callender, 1 November 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
I had, some days ago, a visit from Mr. Jefferson of this place. I have just now got the pamphlets stitched, and have sent him 3 copies for you; but under the same parcel, I used the freedom, I almost fear I was in the wrong, of inclosing 9 for Mr. Madison , who is a Subscriber, or was to the first part, for 15 copies, so that I hazard nothing with him in sending him 9. I did not know his...
3709To Thomas Jefferson from James Thomson Callender, 22 September 1798 (Jefferson Papers)
I request Your indulgence for a few lines. I Shall be as concise as possible. A few days after I had the honour of Seeing You last, a very particular reason made it proper for me to quit the City next day. I consulted on this emergency, M Leiper, and General Mason. The former offered to take charge of my children, the latter to give me, or find me lodgings, if I came to Virginia. Accordingly,...
