Your favor of the 10th. inst. came to hand yesterday, and I recieve it with the respect & attention with which I do every thing coming from you. nothing can be done on the subject of it till after my return to Washington which will probably be after your departure for France. whatever may be determined by the gentlemen of the administration on the subject of mr Davis, other candidates have...

Your’s of the 26th. by Doctr.

123To Thomas Jefferson from Timothy Matlack, 28 August 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
The knowledge of political characters is at all times of importance to the Chief Magistrate of the Union, and at no time was it more so than at the present moment. In Pennsylvania it is peculiarly so from the extreme Violence of those who have taken a lead among the Federalists; and [in] no part of the state has this violence been so outragious & insulting as in this borough and county. The...
124From Thomas Jefferson to James Taylor, Jr., 28 August 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
The term of payment for the two last pipes of wine being now at hand I have desired mr John Barnes of Georgetown to remit you in the first week of the month now about to enter seven hundred dollars: which if my memory serves me (for I have not my papers here) is the sum due. if you have now remaining on hand any of the same quality I would gladly take two pipes more, payable at 90. days....
125To Thomas Jefferson from Benjamin Waterhouse, 28 August 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
I have this moment taken your letter of the 14th. inst. from the Post-office, and have step’d into the first house to write a line, and pray you to excuse me untill I return home before I can answer it properly.

126From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Willing, 28 August 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
I have been requested by a very worthy man to bear testimony in his favor to some one of the Directors of the bank of the US. and being not in habits of acquaintance with any member but yourself, I take the liberty of addressing this to you. I do it the more willingly because I think you will be more able to make the distinction I wish between my private & public character, a distinction I ask...
127From Thomas Jefferson to the District of Columbia Commissioners, 29 August 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of the 24th. is duly recieved. I consider the erection of the Representatives chamber, and the making a good gravel road from the New bridge on Rock creek along the Pensylva & Jersey avenues to the Eastern branch as the most important objects for ensuring the destinies of the city which can be undertaken. all others appear to me entirely subordinate and to rest on considerations...

129From Thomas Jefferson to Edward Gantt, 29 August 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
I send you a fresh supply of vaccine matter. the toothpicks are perhaps feebly impregnated; the thread well soaked. they are from pustules in a very proper state; but it is now 3. or 4. days since they were impregnated. we happen at this time to have no subjects in a proper state for communication. by the next post I hope we shall have some who may furnish matter on the morning of the...

Yours of the 24th is recieved and the articles [forwarded partly] brought here & the [rest] at Milton. the money recieved for mr Short must be remitted to mr Barnes as he is just about making an [investment] for him.
