142To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Mann Randolph, 6 November 1797 (Jefferson Papers)
I am greatly disappointed in being obliged to give up the attempt to reach Monticello before you set out. On Saturday Morning I was in Richmond ready to perform part of the journey that day but the rain prevented me: on Sunday the sun shone and I sat out but was obliged to put in at Cranches tavern two miles above Tuckahoe by a pretty smart shower from which the oil cloth could not protect me...

145To Thomas Jefferson from John Wayles Eppes, [17 November 1797] (Jefferson Papers)
The badness of the roads prevented our reaching Millers last Evening. We arrived here at an early hour after being overset once without receiving the smallest injury. The Carriage went down so gradually that the glass windows which were up received no injury. Marias foot improves with traveling. She walked last evening conveniently without her stick. She is well this morning in good spirits...
146To Thomas Jefferson from John Taylor, 19 November 1797 (Jefferson Papers)
Herewith I have forwarded to you the drill you requested, packed into a crate basket, in a secure manner. This machine is an improvement upon that heretofore sent you, in having cups cut into iron rollers, instead of being fixed to bands. The effect, is perfect regularity in the sheding of the grain, because no change will be produced by the quantity in the box—because these cups must fill...
147To Thomas Jefferson from Edmund Randolph, 21 November 1797 (Jefferson Papers)
While I supposed, that every thing was completed by Mr. Morris relative to Mr. Short’s money, for which he (Mr. M.) gave me his note for stock in 1794, I have been deceived. Immediately I obtained from Mr. Lyons and Mr: Pendleton, who hold six per cent stock the inclosed assumpsit for £2,000 within thirty pounds; which you will find satisfactory; as it is certain. I am the absolute owner of...
148To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, [November 1797] (Jefferson Papers)
I have a letter from Mr. Bache with the printed documents complete all but a page or two, and 12. pages of “the view &c.” I enclose a note to correct by way of erratum an important omission of almost a line in the latter. He tells me the late explosion at Paris has produced a wonderful effect on our rascals at home, who he thinks were in harmony with those there. I have no doubt that the...

That to Mr. Knox, you will be so good as put in the post office as soon as you arrive in Phila. I sincerely wish you peace and comfort thro the winter. The latter you may have in some respect—but the former I think you will not...
150To Thomas Jefferson from Mary Jefferson Eppes, 8 December 1797 (Jefferson Papers)
The fortnight that I spent at Eppington was so taken up in recieving and returning visits, that it was out of my power while there, to write to you. After a safe Journy down, we arrived in perfect health all, my ancle so much mended that I had no further use for my stick, and except a great weakness which I still feel when I attempt to exert it, it is quite well. We left them yesterday, all...
