6From George Washington to Officials of the City of Richmond, 15 November 1784 (Washington Papers)
I derive great honor from your congratulatory address; the language of which, is too flattering not to have excited my utmost gratitude.

11To Thomas Jefferson from Henry Martin, with enclosures, 15 November 1784 (Jefferson Papers)
Your kind favour of the 18th Septemr., I was duly honoured with. In respect to Mr. Joel, he got a little money and some linnen from me before I was made acquainted with his true Character. He became importunate and I flatly denied him any further countenance or assistance. I must confess that being out of humour at the behaviour of some of my countrymen I freely communicated to you their...
