J’ai reçu hier ausoir le lettre que vous m’avez faite l’honneur de m’ecrire le 27.

286From Thomas Jefferson to Gouverneur Morris, 15 October 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
I have duly received your favor of July 10. No. 4. but no other No. preceding or subsequent. I fear therefore that some miscarriage has taken place.

287From George Washington to Gouverneur Morris, 20 October 1792 (Washington Papers)

A thousand circumstances, besides our distance from the...

My last No. 12 was of the twenty seventh of Septr. Since that Period and within a few Days I have receivd yours of the 16th. of June. In sending the Gazettes it would be well I think to put them in an Envelope open at each End and direct them to the Consul at Havre who should be desird to forward them to me by the Stage. This will avoid the heavy Postage. The unexpected Events which have taken...
