1Robert Morris to Alexander Hamilton, Theodorick Bland, Thomas FitzSimons, Samuel Osgood, and Richard Peters, 14 April … (Hamilton Papers)
Since the Conference I had the Honor to hold with you the ninth Instant, my Mind has been continually occupied on the important Subject to which it relates. My Feelings are strongly excited by what I wish for the Public and what I apprehend both for them and for myself. The two Points which relate to my Department are the Settlement of Accounts and Advance of Pay. With respect to the first it...
2From James Madison to Thomas FitzSimons, 21 March 1806 (Abstract) (Madison Papers)
§ To Thomas FitzSimons. 21 March 1806, Department of State. “Your letter of the 26 Ult. was duly received, and Mr. Monroe has been instructed respecting the condemnation of the Washington at Tortola. The acquisition of Louisiana was made before the commencement of hostilities between France & Great Britain, and long before Spain became involved in them. Though these facts are unnecessary to...
3From Alexander Hamilton to Thomas FitzSimons, 4 February 1796 (Hamilton Papers)
[ New York, February 4, 1796. Hamilton endorsed a letter from FitzSimons dated December 17, 1795 : “Ansr. Feby. 4 179[6] agreeing & naming Mr. Lewis —Referees to decide as Judges in Chancellory Law & Fact.” Letter not found. ] FitzSimons, a native of Ireland, was a Philadelphia merchant.

4From James Madison to Thomas FitzSimons, 13 November 1802 (Madison Papers)
I have duly received your letter dated through mistake the 16 Inst. enclosing an account of Messrs. J & Wm. Perot for services relative to american claims for captures made by British cruizers previous to the Treaty of 1794, and giving notice that you will retain the Bill which has been drawn upon you for the amount of this account, ’till you shall receive directions concerning it.

5From James Madison to Thomas FitzSimons and Others, 17 December 1805 (Madison Papers)
I have received your letter of the 10th. inst. and its enclosures respecting the capture of the Enterprize, Eugenia and other Vessels lately sent to Halifax. Though the further proof respecting the trade in which these Vessels were concerned is believed to be unwarranted by the law of Nations, both in its object & the Channell required for obtaining it, it is most proper for the aggreaved...
6From Alexander Hamilton to Thomas FitzSimons, [20 June 1792] (Hamilton Papers)
I return you Mr. Holkers papers with the result of the examination which has been made by my direction. As the thing at present appears to me I see no chance for Mr. Holker but in the final winding up of the arrangements concerning the public debt, when the existence or non existence of the certificates will be ascertained. Yrs. with great esteem & regard ALS , RG 217, Segregated Documents,...
7From James Madison to Thomas FitzSimons, 25 July 1803 (Madison Papers)
I have duly received your letter of the 21st. inst. The subject of the detentions of American property in south America has been long since committed to the attention of Mr. Pinckney, and was renewed in a general shape in the instructions given to Mr. Monroe and him on their appointment to negotiate with the court of Spain. It is not distinctly perceived in which form the claims for such...
8From Alexander Hamilton to Thomas FitzSimons, 27 November 1789 (Hamilton Papers)
[ New York ] November 27, 1789 . “With regard to feeling the public pulse about the debt I have several times had an inclination to the measure; but this inclination has given place to the reflection, that bringing on a discussion might be as likely to fix prejudices as to produce good, and that it may be safest to trust to the effect of the Legislative sanction to good measures, and to the...
9From James Madison to Thomas FitzSimons, 13 May 1803 (Madison Papers)
It is probably owing to the want of many recent arrivals from France, that the information mentioned in your letter of the 10th. has not been officially received. But it certainly is, in every view, expedient for the holders of claims on the French Government to transmit them to Paris; for should the supposed provision for their payment prove unfounded, it would nevertheless be convenient,...
10From James Madison to Thomas FitzSimons, 13 April 1804 (Madison Papers)
Your letter addressed to the Department of State enquiring whether Government mean to pursue any measures for the relief of the Officers and crew of the Frigate Philadelphia, and whether anything can be pointed out as proper to be done by the friends of the prisoners? has been received. I have preferred to make the answer private. The sympathy of the Executive for the condition of the captives...
