I n am in the daily hope of recieving new proof sheets and the particular wish that we may go thro’ the work before April, because I shall then go to Bedford and be absent a month.

2Thomas Jefferson to Joseph Milligan, 6 January 1817 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of Dec. 29. came to hand last night, and I am very much relieved by it’s reciept. your long silence had reduced me to despair, which would have been quieted had you sent me earlier the candid explanation you have now given, inasmuch as it would have let me understand the real ground of the delay. I am happy however that you have begun, and that it will be your interest to get it...

6Thomas Jefferson to Joseph Milligan, 6 April 1816 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of Mar. 6. did not come to hand until the 15 th . I then expected I should finish revising the translation of Tracy ’s book within a week, and could send the whole together. I got thro’ it, but on further consideration thought I ought to read it over again, lest any errors should have been left in it. it was fortunate I did so, for I found several little errors. the whole is now...

9Thomas Jefferson to Joseph Milligan, 27 October 1815 (Jefferson Papers)
The answers to letters which had accumulated during a two months seven weeks absence in Bedford , and the daily calls of my own affairs here have delayed longer than I expected the examination promised in my letter of the 5 th into the paiment I beleived I had made of for the early volumes of Wilson ’s ornithology. I was led astray too in my researches by an idea that that paiment had been made
