151From Thomas Jefferson to Pierce Butler, 27 July 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favors of the 19th & 21st. are duly recieved. mr Pintard’s application is with the Secretary of state. there is considerable competition for the consulship of Madeira , & mr Pintard’s application is not for himself but for his nephew, perhaps in Commendam. your recommendation of Capt. Conelly will be duly attended to. we do not however expect to send another squadron to the Mediterranean...
152From Thomas Jefferson to Philippe de Létombe, 27 July 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
Purposing to set out in a few days for Virginia, where I mean to pass the months of August & September, & presuming that before my return you will be departed for Europe, I avail myself of a few moments to bid you farewell. the Secretary of state will express to you officially the sense we have entertained of the manner in which you have discharged your functions here, but I feel that I should...
153From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Mann Randolph, 27 July 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
I expect to leave this on Thursday; but unforeseen business may protract it. I expect consequently to be with you on Sunday or some early day after that. we have nothing to be depended on from Egypt. the Northern difference is probably settled. the K. of England has desired it to be notified to our government that, understanding we were about to send a squadron into the Mediterranean for the...
154From Thomas Jefferson to Henry Sheaff, 27 July 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of the 22d is recieved. the wines sent to this place have been all safely delivered here, and tho’ I have not exact information of the parcels which have arrived at my house in Virginia, yet I have no doubt all have got there. the Sauterne has been much admired, the Claret approved by many, but not equally by all. the Sherry having gone to Monticello I can say nothing of it: but if...
155From Thomas Jefferson to Henry Dearborn, 28 July 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
I am just making the last arrangements for my departure. the inclosed proposition of Monsr. Dupont for the purification of our Saltpetre being of some magnitude I have thought it best to forward his letter to you, that you may decide on it yourself, and give him an answer. we have nothing material from Europe except the communication from his Britannic Majesty that understanding we were...
156From Thomas Jefferson to Pierre Samuel Du Pont de Nemours, 28 July 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
Being closely engaged in my last arrangements for leaving this place I have barely time to acknolege the reciept of your favor of the 23d. and to inform you that I have this day inclosed it to General Dearborne who is at home, (Hallowell in the district of Maine) with a request that he will do in it what he thinks best, & communicate with you on the subject. I shall now be absent till the last...
157From Thomas Jefferson to William Bingham, 29 July 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
I have duly recieved your favor of the 25th. I had before felt a sincere concern for the circumstance which has made you wish for a change of scene, having myself entertained a very high esteem for the character which has left us and learnt from experience the indelible effects of such a loss. time is the only medicine & but an imperfect one. I thank you for the offer of services abroad. I...
158From Thomas Jefferson to Hugh Henry Brackenridge, 29 July 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
My business not permitting me to be a very punctual correspondent, I did not, at the time, acknolege the receipt of your favors of Jan. 30. & Feb. 17. I am just now on my departure for Monticello where I propose to pass the months of Aug. & Sep. rather than on the tidewaters. we are still uninformed of the fate of Egypt. indeed the only thing new of any importance is the communication from his...
159From Thomas Jefferson to Benjamin Hichborn, 29 July 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
[I recieved] from you a letter of Jan. 5. as you passed through Philadelphia, & another of Feb. 1. by mr Hatch, which, according to your permission, I did not acknolege at the time. being just on my departure for Monticello, where I mean to pass the months of Aug. & Sep. I cannot deny myself the satisfaction of dropping you a line, tho’ we have little new to communicate. the chief article is...
160From Thomas Jefferson to George Jefferson, 29 July 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
I inclose you a draught of the Columbia bank on the bank of the US. for 250. D. which mr Barnes assures me is as good as bank notes [get.] it will be paid either in Philadelphia or New York. this he knows of his own experience. it is intended to cover a balance due from me to Hen[ry Duke] of Hanover, of about 150. Dol. and to pay mr Ast 91.[30] D for the insurance company. he [has] some demand...
161From Thomas Jefferson to Philippe de Létombe, 29 July 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
Proposing to set out tomorrow for Monticello, and knowing that mr Bingham is on his departure for Europe, I have thought it best to dispatch Rapin express to Philadelphia in order to engage Le Maire. every information I recieve convinces me he will suit me infinitely better than Schroeder. several circumstances respecting the latter render him less eligible than the other. Rapin will be able...
162From Thomas Jefferson to Charles Willson Peale, 29 July 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
I have to acknolege the reciept of your favors of June 29. & July 25. to congratulate you on the prospect you have of obtaining a compleat skeleton of the great incognitum, and the world on there being a person at the critical moment of the discovery who has zeal enough to devote himself to the recovery of these great animal monuments. Mr. Smith the Secretary of the Navy will give orders...
