I received Your last some weeks before I left Monticello , but I believe you are so much accustomed to my bad ways that you do no t require a fresh apology for every letter—I have in vain tried to be punctual, but bad habits are not so easily conquered, particularly when the causes which first gave rise to them still exist, and strange to say we are as much interrupted by company here as at...
I mentioned to Jefferson your idea of removing the negroes to a country where they would be so much more profitable, he assented at once to the advantage of such a step, but said what I knew to be the fact that his Grandfather would never lissen listen to such a proposal it for a moment , a l though moving them in a body it would occasion little or no distress to them, not a tenth part which a...
I found very readily the two bundles of papers which I enclose. to Capt Peyton who has been with us lately says that he has your cement, and books, but that the river is so low that not a boat can float— the smith’s shop took fire a few days since and but for the circumstance of his being here with M r Randolph & F Gilmer it would certainly have burnt down. there was no man upon the mountain...
We recieved your letters last night only, and the necessary preparations for the boy’s Journey would take up so much of the day that we determined not to send them till to morrow morning 21 st Wormley will see to every thing but the bulbous roots. the kinds you mention are all growing at present and could not be moved with out destroying them but I have sent you a number of off sets of tulips...
The emergency of the occasion must apologise for the liberty I took in opening the enclosed. but as to morrow is Buckingham court and not knowing the danger that might accrue from a dissappointment I ascertained by opening the letter whether it was your self or the witnesses only that were wanting in which latter case they could have been summoned without applying to you but as some thing more...

I shall go to Monticello a day or two before you arrive as it is probable by the return of the waggon you will be able to fix a day for your return. the arrangements necessary for retrenching all possible expense no one can be more thoroughly convinced of the necessity of than my self. your comfort My Dearest Father must however be the only Criterion any Incroachment upon that were it...
Mr Randolph has been applied to by the people of the County generally to know if you would have any objection to their meeting you on the road and escorting you to Charlottesville. not only the militia companies but the body of the people. they wish it as the last opportunity they can have of giving you a public testimony of their respect and affection if you will write to him by the return of...
The name of the young gentleman for whom the application was made is Moultrie. The Christian name I do not remember but it is probably mentioned in his Father’s letter to Mr Randolph which you told me had been filed with the papers of the Office. if it is not to be found there, Mr Randolph’s thinks it probable that David R. Williams may know it. he is the eldest son of Doctor James Moultrie of...
