4To James Madison from Edmund Pendleton, 30 January 1795 (Madison Papers)

5From George Washington to Edmund Pendleton, 22 January 1795 (Washington Papers)
From a long acquaintance with, and a sincere regard for you, I always feel pleasure in hearing from you—and of you—consequently, your letter of the 30th ult. was an acceptable annuity.

9From George Washington to Edmund Pendleton, 17 March 1794 (Washington Papers)
Your letter of the 5th instt came duly to hand. I know not from what source a report that, the next associate Judge was to be taken from the state of Georgia, could have been derived.
