1John Adams to John Quincy Adams, 29 May 1794 (Adams Papers)
Yesterday the Senate advised the Appointment of M r short to Madrid, but there has as yet been no nomination to the Vacancy at the Hague. The Person however is determined on, and the Nomination will probably be made as soon as I am gone homewards— I have but one night and an half more to stay here. This Nomination, which is the Result of the Presidents own Observations and Reflections, is as...
2To Alexander Hamilton from Jean Antoine Joseph Fauchet, (29 May 1794) (Hamilton Papers)
Un négociant français chargé dans les Etats Unis d’opérations commerciales pour le compte de la Republique, se trouve avoir pour environ 400,000 livres tournois de pièces d’argent de 30 et de 15 sols. La Banque de Baltimore, se refuse à les lui échanger par la raison qu’une telle affluence de pièces étrangeres de titre nouveau et de coupe nouvelle, serait incommode au Public. Il n’y a d’autre...
3To Alexander Hamilton from George Washington, [29 May 1794] (Hamilton Papers)
As the million of dollars, granted by the Act of the 20th of march, last, was certainly for the objects in Algiers, I was anxious that some steps should be taken concerning the money. But as you represent in your letter of the 27th instant, that this cannot be done yet, you will inform me when you shall find that it can be done; and in the mean time, I wish to know, whether some provisions...
4To Alexander Hamilton from George Washington, 29 May 1794 (Hamilton Papers)
To the best of my recollection I shewed, or turned over to your office, a letter from the Governor of this State, with enclosures, to which the one herewith sent of the 27th refers. But the parts of the former alluded to in the latter have escaped me. I therefore send it to you, that if any answer thereto, or acting upon either or both is necessary, that you will do it accordingly. I am &c. LC...
5To Alexander Hamilton from George Washington, [29 May 1794] (Hamilton Papers)
The communication, which you made to me sometime ago, of your intention to resign, and to which you refer in your letter of the 27th. instant (received yesterday afternoon) I always considered as depending upon events. Of course nothing has been done by me to render your continuance in office inconvenient or ineligible. On the contrary, I am pleased that you have determined to remain at your...
6From George Washington to Charles Carter, Jr., of Culpeper, 29 May 1794 (Washington Papers)
I have duly received your letter of the 14th instant. The enclosed to Mr John Lewis, left open for your perusal, will shew what I require for myself, and am willing to do for others. Do you & he therefore, after full enquiry into facts, point out what this ought to be—and no delay shall be experienced from me. The two hundred pounds for which you endorsed an order upon a Merchant of this...

10From George Washington to John Lewis, 29 May 1794 (Washington Papers)
The letter of which the enclosed is a copy, renders further explanation on my part in a manner unnecessary —I must beg Leave notwithstanding to add that when mistakes happen the sooner they can be rectified the better. All I recollect of this matter (and that but imperfectly) is, that Colo. Lewis (your father) purchased from a Michael Robinson for, and on my account, the lots in...
