1To Alexander Hamilton from George Cabot, 29 November 1800 (Hamilton Papers)
It is too late to use the letter you enclosed me in Vermont & here it is unnecessary. I am satisfied the votes in this State & New Hampshire will be all for A & P. you will have seen with some pleasure that our Legislature have conducted in the manner was predicted by our friend Mr. Lowell junr —to his efforts indeed much of the success may be attributed. Some fears are entertained lest the...
2To Alexander Hamilton from George Cabot, 11 October 1800 (Hamilton Papers)
Your letter of the 2d did not reach me until last evening, it having been accidentally detained at the Stage house in this village several days. The President is on the point of departure for the Seat of Govt so that no opportunity of conveyance by a private Gentleman cou’d be found, I have therefore sent your letter by a sure hand to the post office whence it undoubtedly goes in the...

4To Alexander Hamilton from George Cabot, 23 August 1800 (Hamilton Papers)
I have shewn to several of our wisest & best men a copy of what I wrote you on the 21st instant —they all concur in the sentiments it contains, Still it is probably fit & it may be indispensable to expose Mr Adams fully to the public; the countenance & authority given by him & his friends to the vile calumnies against us may strengthen their credit so much as to render them irrefutable without...
5To Alexander Hamilton from George Cabot, 21 August 1800 (Hamilton Papers)
An exposition of the reasons which influence many men of unquestionable patriotism & loyalty to withhold from Mr Adams the confidence he once enjoyed, may be useful by satisfying the intelligent & candid part of the public that those men act, as they have ever done, on genuine national principles; the reasons are strong & require only to be placed in a clear light—but this must be done with...
6To Alexander Hamilton from George Cabot, 10 August 1800 (Hamilton Papers)
Your letter of the 1st. did not reach me until last evening—the inclosure shall be transmitted tomorrow, or the day following by some trusty person who will attend the Levee if one can be found who will engage to deliver it;—otherwise I may perhaps send it in the regular package which goes from the post office. this method wou’d be better than to send a servant who might be obliged to deliver...

8To John Adams from George Cabot, 29 September 1798 (Adams Papers)
A sincere desire to prevent a possible embarrassment to the administration of our government, & to see preserved entire that influence by which alone the honor & independence of our nation can be maintained, has induced me to trouble you with my thoughts at this time. When the appointments of Major Generals were first known it was readily perceived that the order in which they were made...
9George Cabot to Abigail Adams, 22 June 1798 (Adams Papers)
I did not indulge the expectation that I Shoud wholly escape reproach when I had the honor to write you on the 11 th of last month— your condescention (not to say partiality) had placed me in a dilemma from which even your own goodness cou’d not entirely extricate me— I resolved however to merit the continuance of your Esteem & therefore at once discarded all private considerations & listened...
10Abigail Adams to George Cabot, 17 June 1798 (Adams Papers)
I received yesterday your favour of June the 9 with its inclousure, as well as a former Letter, which I felt too much dissapointed to replie to. I have read the sermon with much pleasure and satisfaction. the Paralell drawn between the Jewish Nation, previous to & during the administration of Nehemiah is striking indeed and our own situation at this time as portraid by the ingenious pen of mr...
