I have received your favour of the 13th ulto upon the subject of a Report respecting a certain Gentleman and thank you for the freedom and candid manner of your Communications. The resentment discovered agt the Gentleman alluded to began to subside before your Letter came to hand and though for some time it was occasionally mentioned in conversation it has lately dyed away and will I expect...

153To George Washington from Joseph Jones, 7 August 1780 (Washington Papers)
Your Letter to Col. Harrison turns out as I expected before I received your full information. If the whole had been read and attended to it was impossible to put any other construction on your manner of treating the Subject than to convince your correspondent of the absolute necessity of great exertions this Campaign; while we had a promising prospect before us, least by remissness and delay...
154To James Madison from Joseph Jones, [ca. 24 September] 1788 (Madison Papers)
On my return the other day from the upper country I found your letter for me at Col. Monroes. The question then depending respecting the place of meeting of the congress under the New government has I find been since decided in favor of New York and the different periods fixed for the States to give operation to the governmt. Although I am sensible the proceedings that have been had in...
155To George Washington from Joseph Jones, 16 May 1781 (Washington Papers)
Having returned to Congress a few days only and private matters requiring my attention for great part of the time I have not been able regularly to attend to Business or to acknowledge the receipt of your favour transmitted to Philadelphia after my leaving it and sent after me to Virginia by Mr Madison. The moment for successfull operations agt our Enemies was certainly immediately after the...
156To James Madison from Joseph Jones, 21 June 1783 (Madison Papers)
RC ( LC : Madison Papers). Cover missing. Yours of the 10th. I have duly received by the Post this week. we are now as usual puting to sleep many of the bills that have employed our time and attention for great part of this Session among them, two—one for the benefit of Debtors—the other for regulating the proceedings in the County Courts. these were thought to have some connection and ought...
157To James Madison from Joseph Jones, 23 July 1787 (Madison Papers)
Since my last to you I have been very much indisposed and untill a few days past unable to write or attend to any business. At this time I am barely strong enough to take exercise. Are we likely to have a happy issue of your meeting, or will it pass over withot. effect. Finding you still continue together our hopes are not lost. My fears, however, I must confess are rather increased, than...
158To James Madison from Joseph Jones, 13 February 1802 (Madison Papers)
I have returned to Loudoun from Richmond only a few days past, where I was during the latter part of the Session, and while the back members held two meetings to consult on the propriety of attempting a division of the State, I understood there were each evening between thirty and forty convened at the Capitol—Brackenridge in the Chair —some of them were averse to, and opposed the measure. The...
159To James Madison from Joseph Jones, [ca. April–July 1803] (Madison Papers)
Monroes plan when we parted was to concert with James Maury the business of accepting and paying such draughts as I shod. have occasion to make on him for setling his affairs here—this course I conceived would be the most for his int. in point of exchange and attended with less difficulty in negociating bills. He was I think to furnish Maury by draughts on Amsterdam or in such other way as...
160To James Madison from Joseph Jones, 24 October 1780 (Madison Papers)
RC ( LC : Madison Papers). I very sincerely thank you for your Friendly and regular Correspondence. when I am in Richmond which I am in hopes to be the last of this week (being sufficiently recovered from my late indisposition as to be able to take the Bark) I will endeavour to make you amends by a communication from time to time of our proceedings in Assembly and such southern intelligence as...
161To James Madison from Joseph Jones, 26 November 1803 (Madison Papers)
Mr. Swan informs me there is abt. 60 or 70 dols. due to the Bank on Monroes Notes and which it is necessary shod. be paid. When we were last together you mentioned you shod. have money to pay Monroe for some things purchased from him. If it be so, and you can conveniently furnish the above sum to Mr. Swan or the president of the Bank for the purpose of keeping down the int. it will be doing...
162To James Madison from Joseph Jones, 6 April 1792 (Madison Papers)
I am at this time so much engaged in preparing for my western Journey that I cannot satisfy you by a more accurate statement than I have proposed—your retaining forty pounds and delivering the balance to Monroe will I am persuaded be no injury to me it will rather fall on yourself as I am inclined to think an accurate settlemt. wod. make the balance larger—let it suffice for the present and on...
163To Thomas Jefferson from Joseph Jones, 28 February 1784 (Jefferson Papers)
I have yours of the 2d. inst. by Col. Monroes Adam. I lament his not returning accompanied with the means of relief having heretofore experienced the disagreeable as well as disgracefull predicament in which the Gentlemen of the Delegation are placed for want of remittances from the State. It is to be hoped you have received the small supply the Treasurer mentions to me he had lately forwarded...
164To James Madison from Joseph Jones, [ca. 15 December] 1796 (Madison Papers)
Yours of the 11th. by this days mail I have recd. with the papers inclosed. I find nothing new from Europe. Mifflin has very fully stated to the legislature the ground of his conduct respecting the choice of Electors and will no doubt meet the public approbation. It is to be hoped an investigation of the bus[i]ness will take place if there shall be reason to think any unfairness has been...
165To James Madison from Joseph Jones, 8 December 1780 (Madison Papers)
RC ( LC : Madison Papers). I have yours of November the 28th. by the Post and wish I could inform you the assembly had yet fixed the plan of recruiting our quota of Continentals but such various opinions and modes are proposed that great delay has been the consequence. The present proposition is a bounty of 5000 for the War 2500 for three years if it comes to a draft for that period—the whole...
166To James Madison from Joseph Jones, 12 July 1790 (Madison Papers)
Finding from Mr. Fennos account of your Proceedings that the Session of Congress is near its termination and taking it for granted you will visit Virginia soon after it closes, I cannot avoid communicating to you my wish you would endeavour to take Fredericksburg in your way home, and to inform me about what time you think you shall return, and whether I may expect the pleasure of seeing you....
