3951From Thomas Jefferson to George Gilmer, 25 July 1790 (Jefferson Papers)
I wrote you last on the 27th. of June. Since that we have had great appearance of an explosion between Spain and England Circumstances still indicate war. The strongest fact against it is that a British Ambassador is actually gone to Madrid. If there be war, France will probably embark in it. I do not think it can disturb her revolution. That is so far advanced as to be out of danger. Be these...

3955From George Washington to George Gilpin, 4 February 1791 (Washington Papers)
A pressure of public business just at the moment Mr Roberdeau was about to leave this, allowed me no time to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 28th Ulto—and now I have little more than to thank you for the communication which was given by it.
