1From James Madison to James Maury, 24 March 1783 (Madison Papers)

5From Thomas Jefferson to James Maury, 24 December 1786 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of the 17th. of Sep. came to hand a few days after a dislocation of my right wrist had disabled me from writing. I only begin to write a little now, and that with pain. Your second letter of Dec. 10. is now received. I should be happy if any arrangements as to my tobacco could produce advantage to you, but having entirely abandoned the management of my affairs to my friends in...
6From Thomas Jefferson to James Maury, 2 July 1787 (Jefferson Papers)
The reason why the receipt of your favor of May 21. has been thus long unacknoleged was my absence on a tour round the seaport towns from which I am just returned.

The effect therefore will only be to...
7From Thomas Jefferson to James Maury, 13 November 1787 (Jefferson Papers)
I received your favor of Oct. 25. the day before yesterday only. It would be needless for me therefore to add to what you already know on the subject of peace and war. The principal minister here is so intent on domestic improvements, and on peace as necessary to give leisure for them, that it will not be his fault if it be disturbed again. It will be equally unnecessary for me to give you a...

10VI. Secretary of State to James Maury, 23 December 1790 (Jefferson Papers)
The enclosed letters are of capital importance, and as the ship which carries them goes to your port, I take the liberty of putting them under cover to you, and begging your attention to their being conveyed safely, and clear of the inspection of Government, which I know makes free with foreign letters. Pressed hard to get these despatches ready in time, I leave to your friend Mr. Madison to...
