181From James Madison to Edmund Randolph, 13 September 1792 (Madison Papers)
“Your favor of the 12 Ult. having arrived during an excurtion into Albemarle, I did not receive it till my return on yesterday. I lose not a moment in thanking you for it; particularly for the very friendly par[a]graph in the publication in Fenno’s paper. As I do not get his paper here, it was by accident I first saw this extradiordinary manœuvre of Calumy; the quarter, the motive, and the...

184From George Washington to Edmund Randolph, 16 October 1794 (Washington Papers)
Your letters of the 11th instt were received this morning at my stage 15 miles short of this place. We arrived here in the forenoon of this day; and found a respectable force assembled from the states of Virginia and Maryland; and I am informed that about 1500 more (from the former state) either is, or will be at Frankfort, (ten miles on our left) this evening or tomorrow at farthest. Nothing...
185From James Madison to Edmund Randolph, 10 May 1789 (Madison Papers)
Whilst I thank you for your favr of the 23d. Ult: I must remind you that it does not contain the promised information on the Case of the French Consul here. I am led to it by being myself just reminded by him of the omission on my part. The plan of an immediate temporary impost was what first occurred on the subject. It is not yet abandoned, but the practicability is questionable. The plan of...
186From George Washington to Edmund Randolph, 10 October 1791 (Washington Papers)
By the Post of Friday, I received your communications of the first instant; and from the character of Mr Campbell am glad to hear he is disposed to act as Attorney for the District of Virginia; & that you had forwarded the Commission to him for that purpose. Also, that a pardon had been sent to Saml Dodge as it appears that his errors were unintentional. It is my wish & desire that you would...
187From John Jay to Edmund Randolph, 19 November 1794 (Jay Papers)
The long expected Treaty accompanies this letter;— a probability of soon concluding it has caused the Packet to be detained for more than a week;— The difficulties which retarded its accomplishment, frequently had the appearance of being insurmountable; they have at last yielded to modifications of the Articles in which they existed, and to that mutual disposition to Agreement which reconciled...
188From George Washington to Edmund Randolph, 14 October 1793 (Washington Papers)
Enclosed is the copy of a Letr I wrote to you agreeably to the date—since which I have received yours of the 3d instt—which shews it had not at that time got to your hands. I sincerely hope your son Peyton is in no danger from the sick person he saw, and that the rest of your family, wherever they be, are in good health. Are you certain that the disorder of which the persons in German town...
189From John Jay to Edmund Randolph, 23 June 1794 (Jay Papers)
I had the Honor to write to you a few Lines at Falmouth on the 9 th . instant mentioning my having arriv’d there the preceeding evening:— that Letter was committed to the care of our Consul M r . Fox:— He expected to forward it by the Active Capt. Blair who was soon to sail for Phil[adelphi] a . but whose departure has been unexpectedly prolong’d to this time. On the 15 th . I arriv’d here,...
190From Alexander Hamilton to Edmund Randolph, 27 April 1794 (Hamilton Papers)
I did not receive the draft of your reply to Mr. Hammond on the subject of the instructions of the 8th of June till bed time last night, nor could I without a much more considerable delay than seems to comport with your plan pretend to enter into an accurate scrutiny of the paper. I must therefore confine myself to a very few remarks. I If my memory serves me right your position that the...
191From John Jay to Edmund Randolph, 6–8 July 1794 (Jay Papers)
The Letters which since my arrival I have had the Honor of writing to you, are as follows.— 9 th . June at Falmouth, left with our Consul there to transmit by the Active Cap tn . Blair for Phil a .— & the 23 d : June by M r . Francis, of which I also sent a Duplicate by the Mohawk. Cap tn . Allan to New York, & 26 June by the same— On the 27 th
192Enclosure: Edmond Charles Genet to Edmund Randolph, 16 December 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
Une nouvelle publication de Messieurs Jay et King dont vous trouverez un exemplaire ci joint m’oblige de recourir encore à votre Ministère. Vous verrez par cet écrit que ces M.M. ont aggravé Singulièrement leurs offenses envers la France, envers Son délégué 1° en associant à leur calomnie Messieurs Knox et Hamilton l’un Secretaire de la guerre, l’autre Secretaire des Finances; 2° en faisant...
193Enclosure: John Jay to Edmund Randolph, 21 August 1794 (Washington Papers)
I have received the Letter you did me the honor to write on the 9th June, enclosing the Case of the Snow Sukey, and of the Brigantine Maria. That letter begins thus “Since writing of my Letter yesterday, I have received” &c. That letter has never come to my hands. A few days ago I was favored with yours of the 9th July, on the subject of the american Vessel carried into Bermuda, and on Board...
194From John Jay to Edmund Randolph, 13 September 1794 (Jay Papers)
Hitherto my Letters have communicated to you but little information of much importance, except on one point;—Altho all the general objects of my Mission were opened at once, & were received with every indication of the same Candor & Disposition to Agreement with which they were stated, yet the Nature of the Business turned the imediate & more particular Attention of both parties to the Affairs...
