I had sometime ago the honour of receiving from Mr Jay a copy of the Letter you were pleased to write on the 3d April to him and the other Judges of the Supreme Court I shall not fail, Sir, to do every thing in my power to contribute to the important purpose of it, and shall hope to consult with the other Judges when I have the pleasure of meeting them at New York in order that we may jointly...
It mortifies me extremely that I should be so near your seat without having it in my power to pay my respects to you and Mrs Washington there, which otherwise I should have had the greatest pleasure in doing—But unfortunately a continued sickness in my Family detained me in New York solong that I have now not a moment to spare, considering that I have some business of consequence to transact...

Memorandum for Major Jackson concerning the Road through North and South Carolina. I am not acquainted with the Road from Petersburg to Halifax, nor with that from Halifax, by way of Tarborough, to Newbern.

When I had the honour of Meeting You and M r . Blair at New York, in order to deliberate on the ensuing Circuits, I was entirely unapprized that any general question was to be put, whether there should be a rotation at all until the moment when it was proposed, and I confess it was so unexpected by me, and I saw it lead to such distressing consequences to myself, that I had it not in my power...
In consequence of the letter you did the Judges of the Supreme Court the honour to write to them on the 3d April 1790, I presume it is not only proper for a single Judge, but his express duty when he deems it of importance to the public service, to state any particular circumstances that occur to him in the course of his personal experience which occasion unexpected difficulties or...

We have taken into consideration the Letter written to us by your Direction, on the 18th Instant, by the Secretary of State. The Question “whether the public may with propriety be availed of the advice of the Judges, on the Questions alluded to?[”] appears to us to be of much Difficulty as well as Importance—as it affects the judicial Department, we feel a Reluctance to decide it, without the...
We have considered the previous Question stated in a Letter written to us by your Direction, by the Secretary of State, on the 18th of last month. The Lines of Separation drawn by the Constitution between the three Departments of Government—their being in certain Respects checks on each other—and our being Judges of a court in the last Resort—are Considerations which afford strong arguments...
It is with the most sensible mortification that I have to inform you of the disappointment of my expectation of attending at the Supreme Court in February, at which time I was extremely anxious to attend on account of the variety of important business which probably will then come on, and of the novel and peculiar nature of a part of it. I accordingly set off so early as the 14 th ., but was...
