Mr Randolph presents his respectful compliments to the President; and has the honor of inclosing to him the paper, on which he had committed his opinion, as to the calling of congress, and which he intended to have transcribed.

Letter not found: from Edmund Randolph, 3 Oct. 1793. On 14 Oct. GW wrote Randolph : “I have received yours of the 3d instt.”
I did myself the honor of writing to you about ten days ago; since which time we have been in daily hopes and expectation, that a change in the temperature of the air would arrest the progress of the fever. But we are still without rain or cold. Our accounts from Philadelphia are hourly more and more gloomy; whether we consider the number of the deceased, of new patients, or of orphan...
