71From George Washington to Thomas Pinckney, 5 March 1796 (Washington Papers)
The Ship Favourite, by which these dispatches are sent, having been delayed much longer in this Port than was expected, affords me an opportunity of informing you—that the Spanish Treaty arrived here on the 22d Ulto; that it was laid before the Senate as soon after, as the accompanying Papers could be copied; and that, on the 3d instant, the Ratification of it was advised & consented to by an...
72From Alexander Hamilton to Thomas Pinckney, 29 December 1794 (Hamilton Papers)
The Treasurer has been directed to remit to you a Bill on our commissioners at Amsterdam for 303, 115 Florins. It appears upon more particular examination that it would not leave in the hands of the Commissioners a sufficient sum for payment of interest to the first of March inclusively, which was the intention. I request therefore that you will so arrange the matter as that there be left in...
73From George Washington to Thomas Pinckney, 22 May 1796 (Washington Papers)
(Private) To my letters of the 20th of February and 5th of March, I beg leave to refer you for the disclosure of my sentiments on the subjects then mentioned to you. Very soon afterwards, a long, and animated discussion in the House of Representatives relative to the Treaty of Amity, Commerce & Navigation with Great Britain, took place; and continued—in one shape or another—until the last of...
74From George Washington to Thomas Pinckney, 20 February 1796 (Washington Papers)
Your letter of the 10th of October from Madrid, has been duly received. With regret, I read the request which is contained in it; but the footing on which you have placed the matter, forbids opposition, or even persuasion on my part that you would recede from it; altho’ the difficulty of supplying your place to my satisfaction; to the satisfaction of your country; or of the Court you will...
75From George Washington to Thomas Pinckney, 28 May 1797 (Washington Papers)
I rely more upon your goodness than upon any excuse I can make, for not having given an earlier acknowledgment to the receipt of your obliging letters of the 10th of January & 12 th of Feby. The truth is, they were rather long on their passage; but a more weighty reason than this is, they arrived towards the closing scenes of my public life, when every moment of my time was occupied either in...
76From John Adams to Thomas Pinckney, 27 October 1800 (Adams Papers)
It is was only this morning on Yesterday that I received the Letter you did me the honour to write me, on the Sixteenth of September. For the friendly and respectful Style in which it is written I pray you to accept of my hearty Thanks: and you shall receive in my answer all the Satisfaction in my Power to give you. Of The Letter which is published in my name I have no Copy, nor any very...
77From Alexander Hamilton to Thomas Pinckney, 25 June 1794 (Hamilton Papers)
It has been determined to import from Europe as expeditiously as may be the articles mentioned in the inclosed list towards the construction of six frigates for which provision was made in the last session of Congress. These are considerations which would have directed the endeavour to procure these articles in the first instance from the more Northern Countries of the Continent of Europe; but...
