1From John Adams to Henry Marchant, 25 July 1790 (Adams Papers)
I have rec d your favour of the 19 th — I presume your answer to M r Jefferson will be sufficient: but If you write to the President, it will do no harm— Your letter to the President came to me after your appointment, so that I have never delivered nor mentioned it to any one; and shall keep it and all that came with it till your farther orders.— It is best it should not now be conveyed to the...
2To Thomas Jefferson from Madame Plumard de Bellanger, 25 July 1790 (Jefferson Papers)
J’ay étté bien charmée de recevoir de vous une lettre. Impatiente d’apprendre de vos nouvelles, j’en croyois le moment passé. Je croyois qu’un si long trajet de Mer et des objets si agréables pour vous à retrouver avoient effacé quelques sentimens flatteurs pour moi, s’ils avoient jamais existé. Mon Cousin m’ayant écrit au mois de decembre m’apprit les détails de votre arrivée, de laquelle...
3From Alexander Hamilton to Benjamin Lincoln, 25 July 1790 (Hamilton Papers)
I have received your favor of the 9th Instant, and duly observed the useful hints in it relative to the exportation of & re-exportation of salted provisions & Fish. The question with regard to Weighers will probably meet the attention of the Legislature in the present Session. I observe with great satisfaction your successful endeavors to detect the Breaches of the Revenue Laws and to secure...
4From Alexander Hamilton to Otho H. Williams, 25 July 1790 (Hamilton Papers)
Enclosed you will find an advertismen⟨t⟩ relative to the supply of Rations for the Troops of the United Sta⟨tes⟩ which you will be pleased to have inserted in your best Newspaper for the term of four Weeks. The account of the expenc⟨es⟩ I must also request you to procure, and discharge and I shall direct, the Receipt to be admitted, as a Voucher for the amount in your subsequent settlement. I...
5From Alexander Hamilton to Thomas Newton, Junior, 25 July 1790 (Hamilton Papers)
[ New York, July 25, 1790. On August 6, 1790, Newton wrote to Hamilton : “Your Letter of the 25th Ult. I received this day.” Letter not found. ]
6From Thomas Jefferson to Roger Alden, 25 July 1790 (Jefferson Papers)
I receive this moment your favor of to-day. Tho’ I shall ever be pleased with every event which may promote your interests, yet I cannot be without regret altogether that one of the consequences of the advantageous propositions you embrace is that they deprive me of the continuance of your assistance. I have been too short a time in the office to know as yet it’s duties myself. It was on the...
7From Thomas Jefferson to Francis Eppes, 25 July 1790 (Jefferson Papers)
I have duly recieved your favor of May 30. inclosing Mr. Ross’s accounts &c. I observe that almost the whole of the balance he makes, results from turning money into tobacco at 20/ and then turning it back again into money at 36/. If there was ever any agreement between Mr. Ross and me to pay him any part of the account in tobacco, it must be paid him in tobacco. But neither justice nor...
8From Thomas Jefferson to George Gilmer, 25 July 1790 (Jefferson Papers)
I wrote you last on the 27th. of June. Since that we have had great appearance of an explosion between Spain and England Circumstances still indicate war. The strongest fact against it is that a British Ambassador is actually gone to Madrid. If there be war, France will probably embark in it. I do not think it can disturb her revolution. That is so far advanced as to be out of danger. Be these...
9From Thomas Jefferson to Mary Jefferson, 25 July 1790 (Jefferson Papers)
No letter from you yet, my dear Maria. You now owe me four, and I insist on you writing me one every week till you shall have paid the debt. I write to you every three weeks, and I think you have quite as little to do as I have, so that I may expect letter for letter. The account stands at present as follows. Maria Jefferson Dr. to Th: Jefferson Cr. April 11. To letter of this date 1 April 25....
10From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Mann Randolph, Jr., 25 July 1790 (Jefferson Papers)
This being my week of writing to Maria, I should not have troubled you but to inclose the copy of a letter I write this day to Colo. Randolph. You see that I have taken great liberties in hazarding ideas on which you ought to have been previously consulted: however I do it in such a way as to leave them open for your correction, and when we meet at Monticello, the arrangements may be finally...
11From Thomas Jefferson to Elizabeth Wayles Eppes, 25 July 1790 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of June the 4th. with Mr. Eppes’ of May 30. came to my hands only the 8th of July. Consequently they must have been all the month of June getting from Eppington to Richmond, from which last place they would be but 8. or 9. days coming. I mention this as an apology for being so late in acknowleging their reciept. Patsy has written me on the subject of a maid also, but adds that it...
12From Thomas Jefferson to Nathaniel Anderson, 25 July 1790 (Jefferson Papers)
I have duly recieved your two favors of July 12. and 14 . I have a good deal of confidence that Harvie’s lands may be saved to Sam. Carr notwithstanding the suit. It is very interesting to him that every possible delay be used, because it will give more time to be receiving profits and paying off, and because he may come of age in the mean time and make valid engagements for money to save the...
13From Thomas Jefferson to William Temple Franklin, 25 July 1790 (Jefferson Papers)
On a review of the houses you are so kind as to propose to me, I have no hesitation to prefer one of Mr. Lieper’s. The part of the town, the price, and the landlord determine me to this: and the latter article is not a small consideration, as you tell me you like the landlord. On my part I can say with truth I never had a pin to cavil with a landlord in my life on quitting a house. I take care...
14From Thomas Jefferson to John Harvie, 25 July 1790 (Jefferson Papers)
I received yesterday your favor of July 12. by Mr. Austin and am glad of the occasion it’s acknolegement furnishes me of resuming a correspondence which distance and business have long interrupted, but which has never wanted the urgency of motives of sincere friendship on my part. Mr. Austin shall certainly recieve every aid I can give him. That which he asks from Congress I suppose very...
15From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Mann Randolph, 25 July 1790 (Jefferson Papers)
It is not till now that I begin to relinquish the hope you had given me of visiting New York this summer. Besides the pleasure on which I had counted, of seeing you here, I had proposed to see whether we could not arrange together a matter which our children have at heart. I find it is the strong wish of both to settle in Albemarle. They both consider Varina as too unhealthy, a consideration...
16To Thomas Jefferson from Le Veillard, 25 July 1790 (Jefferson Papers)
Je n’ai reçu Votre lettre du 5 avril dernier que le 22 du présent et il y avoit deja longtemps que nous savions la mort de mon amy, de Votre illustre compatriote. La France lui a rendu des honneurs dont le récit doit indubitablement faire mourir de désespoir certaines personnes de Boston. Peu de temps apres votre départ, Monsieur, on m’a remis, d’aprés son ordre, 150 pages in folio des...
17From James Madison to James Monroe, [25?] July 1790 (Madison Papers)
After all the vicissitudes through which the assumption has passed, it seems at present in a fair way to succeed as part of the general plan for the public debt. The Senate have included it among their amendments to the funding bill, and a vote of yesterday in the House of Representatives indicates a small majority in favor of the measure. In its present form it will very little affect the...
