361To George Washington from Edmund Randolph, 21 June 1794 (Washington Papers)
I was this morning honored by your letter of the 19th instant from Baltimore. Mr Adams’s commission was completed, before you left this city. Having notified his appointment to him, I yesterday received a letter from him, dated at Boston on the 14th instant. He accepts, and will set out for Philadelphia about the 24th or 26th of this mon[th]. Hence it is certain, that he will be here on your...
362To George Washington from Edmund Randolph, 22 June 1794 (Washington Papers)
I did myself the honor of writing to you yesterday and the day before. It has since become necessary, to decide the case of the ship William, of Glasgow, which was said to have been captured by a French cruizer, within the protection of our coast. But the evidence having been deemed by us all incompetent to establish the fact, both the French and English Ministers have been informed, that she...

Hamilton, requesting him to prepare the money, voted by congress; in order that a plan might be concerted, to give effect to the object, and prevent Mr Humphries from clashing with Mr Morris.

I do myself the honor of inclosing to you a letter from Mr Fauchet, my answer, and my letter to Mr Gore, relative to the prosecution against Mr Juteau, chancellor of the Consulate of the French Republic in Boston.

366Enclosure III: Edmund Randolph to Christopher Gore, 23 June 1794 (Washington Papers)
I have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter, giving information of the dismission of the prosecution against Mr Juteau.

He says, that he would have preferred, that the trial should go on, to the compulsion of Mr Juteau to appear at the bar. It is very certain, that the wish of the...

26 June 1794. Encloses Heinrich Matthias Marcard’s letter to GW of 5 Aug. 1793, which GW gave to Randolph "with a request that I should answer it."

We have just received intelligence, that the Ship sometimes called Vanstabel, at others Chickamogga, and at others Isaac, is at Reedy Island, in the River Delaware.
