41To George Washington from Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, 19 June 1790 (Washington Papers)
I am infinitely obliged to you for having favoured me with introductory Letters for my nephew Mr Horry.

42To Alexander Hamilton from Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, 25 October 1799 (Hamilton Papers)
I arrived at this place this afternoon from Rhode Island, via Paulus Hook. Mrs: Pinckney has sustained the fatigue of her Voyage & Journey better than I expected.

Every fresh proof of Esteem from those we love & admire, cannot but be particularly acceptable to a susceptible mind; and it was with sensations of the sincerest gratitude that I perused your favour of the 24th ultimo, which I yesterday received.

Your two favours of the 26th. of March, & your favour of the 10th. of April all arrived by the last post. The position of your Field Officers in your order of Battle, I think excellent.
