111To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 19 March 1806 (Jefferson Papers)
I enclose three letters from Mr Thompson Register of Oppelousas; the last received this morning & the two others last week, but yet unanswered. There are these points which seem to require consideration— 1. to extend the time for filing claims, which I think ought to be done & may be proposed to the land committee. 2. the great extent of the district & the distance of Washita & other counties...

Adam Gantz’s application for pardon On what ground the district judge supposes that no remission could legally be granted by the Secy. of the Treasury in this case, is not understood. As, however he has not certified the facts in the usual way, nor transmitted the papers, the Secretary cannot act. Nor is it probable, if he could, that he would remit the fine after conviction of smuggling by a...

I presume that this application may now be granted, informing the party that only one vessel will be allowed. Lang the agent who was here informed me that he had no funds, & that the owner of the ship must be paid for the freight & passage in coffee at Port au Prince. If therefore permission be given, it will be expected that they will be permitted to bring back a cargo equal in value to sd....
114To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 29 July 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
The enclosed was delivered to me open this evening by Colo. Burr. It encloses an open letter for Mr Madison ; but the whole in fact is designed for you. I had not heard that Mr Lewis the new Marshal had offered to resign. If it is thought proper that he should & he has not offered to do it, I will, if you approve of it, write to Doctor Vaughan, on the grounds of public utility, advising that...
115To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 25 November 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
You gave two years ago to Colo. Worthington the sketch of the Orleans bill with a request that I should, taking its provisions for a basis, draw one consistent with the general arrangements of our complex land laws. This was accordingly done; Mr Worthington introduced the bill in the Senate, where it was amended, passed to a third reading & then postponed. The only copy of the bill wh. I...
116To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 29 October 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
I think with you that the cutting out of the Western road, as proposed by Mr Moore, is the most eligible mode, considering the impossibility of making contracts on the spot for completing a part, of applying the appropriation. Will you write to him or shall I do it in yr. name? Respectfully Your obedt. Servt. DLC : Papers of Thomas Jefferson.
117To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 10 January 1805 (Jefferson Papers)
After the enclosed commission had been signed, you determined that it was not proper to give to a Judge an appointment revokable at the pleasure of the President. The Commission is therefore returned — With great respect Your obedt. Servt. RC ( DLC ); at foot of text: “The President of the United States”; endorsed by TJ as received from the Treasury Department on 10 Jan. with notation “Commn....
118To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 28 May 1808 (Jefferson Papers)
The enclosed letters from Lake Champlain shew that we have not been properly supported by the people & that the love of gain & British agency had rendered the stoppage of intercourse so unpopular that even Sailly & others truly friendly characters were afraid to act. I have of course written to the dist. attorney to institute prosecutions &a.—But although the waters are low & nothing more can...
119To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 27 August 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
I leave the office under the care of Mr Nourse, and if I can stand the journey will set off for New York this day, but feel much indisposed. Please to let me know whether you approve the recommendations of Messrs. Langdon & Whipple for officers of the revenue cutter, and in that case to send me their names with which I may fill blank commissions. I have presumed to get a commission for the...

I have the honor to enclose the report of Richard L. Green, of the repairs necessary to prevent the further decay of that part of the Gosport marine Hospital which is not now used. The Collector of Norfolk , by whose direction it was prepared, informs that the necessary repairs of that part of the building which is now occupied by the sick Seamen, are nearly completed; and I beg leave to...
