I had previous to the receipt of your favor of the 23d. forwarded all the articles therein mentioned except the fish, which have not yet arrived.—the cask of oil which you say is missing was forwarded the 6th. of June by Mr. Higganbothams Harry , for which I inclose you his receipt.—the oil you will observe is not particularly specified, the rect. being for 6 barrels & one box; I therefore...

I am very sorry that I was so remiss, as to delay looking out for the wood screws until I had an opportunity of sending them; as I ought to have foreseen there was a possibility at least; of my not being able to procure such as you required and so it has turned out—there are none at all in the whole City with round heads except some few of brass, and they are much too large. I found some few...

6To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 18 October 1803 (Jefferson Papers)
It was not my intention ever more, to have taken the liberty of recommending any one to you for an office; but on the present occasion, I cannot forbear. My old neighbour, and school-mate, and friend, Mr. Waller Taylor , who will hand you this—having determined to remove to New Orleans, wishes to get some office under Government.—I do not precisely know what office he would prefer, or what he...
