The original papers of which I herewith enclose Copies, were a few days since recd. from the Accountts Office as Vouchers for accounts transmitted by Mr. Swan Pay Master of the Troops & for which he claims credit.

I have this moment recd. you favour of Septr. 25th. but being oblidged to set out on my Tour to Vermont in a few Hours, I cannot consult my papers, nor reply as particularly as would otherwise be in my power.

I have recd. your several Letters dated June 22d. 26th. 30th. & the 2nd. current. The non publication of the Treaty, was a measure not consistent with my first impressions & expectations. It was not however left by the Senate in the manner you suppose. Their resolution indeed evinces the contrary—& the Executive must in addition to whatever difficulties would have attended a publication, if...

I have recd. your favour of the 20th. with Twenty Dollars. The sum I lent you was Thirty Dollars. Yesterday I sent you a small bill which you forgot to pay. No Consul can be recd. at present. The result of all the enquiries which I have been able to make is, that a small sum, might be raised by the gradual sale of 7½ ⅌ Cent Stock at par but that there can be no certainty, that a Loan would...
