If this should find you at Congress, when the business it relates to is undetermined, I hope you will use your Influence in favor of your humble Servant. It is believ’d here that a Physician will be appointed to the Continental Troops in this Colony; an office that I desire Exceedingly, as it would gratify at the same time my passion for Improvement in the profession I am destined to, and my...
A Petition from the Director and Surgeons of the Virginia Hospitals to the Governor and Council The Petitioners beg leave to acquaint this honorable board, that the resolution of Assembly, which establish’d Hospitals for the relief of the sick and wounded in the service of this state, gave to the Director and Surgeons of those Hospitals a genteel and liberal allowance, for Devoting their time...
I am extremely flatter’d with your condescending attention to me, and recieve with the utmost sensibility this new mark of your friendship, which it will always be my ambition to deserve. Nor can I help being prepossess’d in favour of your advice, which I know to have been dictated merely by the kind concern you take in my welfare.

[ Place unknown, 12 Apr. 1784. Noted in SJL as received 23 Apr. 1784. Not found.]
Having been absent from town about a fortnight, I did not immediately recieve your letter , nor have had an oportunity of acknowledging the pleasure it gave me, until this post. You have dispell’d my doubts concerning the ballons, the accounts of which I supposed to be monstrous exaggerations, tho founded probably on some small Experiment of the kind. It is some Years since Mr. Cavendish...
I am much obliged to you for your communication of the proceedings of the Convention, since I left them; for I feel that anxiety about the result, which it’s Importance must give to every honest citizen. If I thought that my return could contribute in the smallest degree to it’s Improvement, nothing should keep me away. But as I know that the talents, knowledge, & well-establish’d character,...
I have so much pleasure from your communications, that I shall be careful to acknowledge the reciept of them, with a view to secure their continuance. I have still some hope that I shall hear from you of the reinstatement of the Negative —as it is certainly the only mean by which the several Legislatures can be restrain’d from disturbing the order & harmony of the whole; & the Governmt....
I am not surprized to hear that you have been indisposed, at this season, with such a weight of business upon you. I am more surprized that you have been able to persevere in the application, which that business required. I hope you will never take a moment either from that, or from the relaxation which it renders necessary, on account of such a correspondent as myself; who would readily give...
I have not yet been able to execute your commission to Mr. Beckley; but shall take care to forward the act as soon as it can be obtain’d. The report of a tendency to Insurrection in several quarters of the State is not without some foundation; tho’ the friends of Order have hitherto mantain’d the Superiority, so as to prevent any very outrageous doings. An expectation of a remedy for their...
I am to thank you for the favor you did me in inclosing a copy of the new constitution; which has ever since been the principal topic of political conversation in every company. It was at first reciev’d with a prepossession in it’s favor almost enthusiastic, in our towns especially. The circumstances, however, which in this state partic[ularl]y tended to excite Suspicion & jealousy, have...
