12From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Pinckney, 26 June 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
I enclose you a copy of a letter I have written to Mr. Hammond, and of the papers accompanying it, on the subject of the Snow Suckey, and her cargo belonging to citizens of the United States, captured by an English privateer, and carried, as is supposed, into Jamaica. I will ask you to obtain, without delay, orders from the British Government to proper persons in their Colonies, to have...
13From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Pinckney, 14 June 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
My last letters to you have been of the 7th. of May and 4th. inst. Since the last date yours of Apr. 15. has come to hand. I now inclose you two forms of passports for our vessels, as given here. That in three columns is the form now used; the other having been early laid aside. They will be given in our own ports only, and to serve for the single voyage. These forms will enable you to decide...

I wrote you last on the 7th. of May, since which I have received yours of Mar. 12. Apr. 5. 6. 6. and 10. Tho’ the character of Mr. Albion Coxe here was not exactly what we would have wished, yet he will be received if he can give the security required by law. With respect to Mr. Holloway, my former letters will have informed you that the necessity of proceeding in our coinage would admit no...
15From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Pinckney, 8 May 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
I took the liberty, some short time ago, of putting under cover to you some packets containing copies of official papers which Mr. John Carey had been permitted to take and publish, accompanying them with a request that you would be so good as to deliver them to him particularly, but to no other person should any accident happen to him. I now trouble you with another packet of the same kind...

Since my Letter of April 26th. yours have been received of March 12. 12. 13. 13. and 19. Before the receipt of these, one of which covered the form of your passports , it had been determined here that passports should be issued in our own ports only, as well to secure us against those collusions which would be fraudulent towards our Friends, and would introduce a competition injurious to our...

The bearer hereof Dr. Edwards, a citizen of the US. proposing to visit London, I take the liberty of presenting him to you. Tho I have not the honor personally of a particular acquaintance with him, yet his reputation, and the recommendations I receive of him from several persons and particularly from Colo.

18From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Pinckney, 27 April 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
Mr. John Carey having had permission to copy and publish such parts as might be interesting to the public, of the correspondence of the Commander in chief, the officers commanding in separate departments &c. and proposing to print them in Europe, it has been thought safer to put the M.S.S. books under cover to you. There go with this letter about 12. or 13. packets of them. I have to ask the...
19From Thomas Jefferson to Gouverneur Morris, Thomas Pinckney, and William Short, 26 April 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
The public papers giving us reason to believe that the war is becoming nearly general in Europe, and that it has already involved nations, with which we are in daily habits of commerce and friendship, the President has thought it proper to issue the Proclamation of which I enclose you a copy, in order to mark out to our citizens the line of conduct they are to pursue. That this intimation,...
20From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Pinckney, 24 April 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
The bearer hereof Mr. Robert Leslie, a watchmaker of this city, goes to establish himself in London. His great eminence will unquestionably ensure his success, if he can but be known. I have considered him and the deceased Mr. Rumsey (both born in the same neighborhood) as the two greatest mechanics I have ever met with in any country. Not to mention many other useful inventions, we are...
