31To John Adams from John Marshall, 19 March 1825 (Adams Papers)
To the frequent inquiries which I make respecting your health I have the satisfaction to receive the general answer that you enjoy a larger share of that blessing than usually belongs to a person who is so nearly approaching the beginning of his second century. You have my best wishes for its continuance. A desire to leave be hind me a less objectionable impression of the only work I ever...
32To John Adams from John Marshall, 21 July 1800 (Adams Papers)
With this you will receive a copy of Mr. Kings letter No. 67 to which the letter formerly transmitted to you refers. If the proposition of paying a sum in gross to the British government in lieu of & in satisfaction for the claims of British creditors shoud be deemd to merit attention, can it afford just cause of discontent to France? You will receive also dispatches from the American envoys...
33To John Adams from John Marshall, 1 October 1800 (Adams Papers)
I have receivd you three letters of the 17th. & your letter of the 18th. of Septr., & am very happy that the dispatches to Mr. King & Mr. Humphries have your approbation. If without increasing the sum, the payments can be made as you suggest, I think it woud be a desirable stipulation. There can, as it appears to me at present, be no objection to stating the proposition to Mr. King, &...

I was informd yesterday afternoon that you had done me the honor to name me as the successor of Mr. McHenry.

I receivd by the last mail your letter of the 19th. inst inclosing several papers which are disposd of according to your directions.

37To John Adams from John Marshall, 6 September 1800 (Adams Papers)
I receivd last night your letter of the 26th—of August. The more I think on the proposition of giving a gross sum in lieu of the claims of the British creditors on the government of the United States, the more difficulty appears to me to attend the subject. On the one side I am convincd that the sum we shall be under the necessity of giving, if we come to any agreement, must be more...
