I have to acknolege the receipt of your favors of Mar. 11. Apr. 15. May 1. July 20. Aug. 1. and Aug. 24. The letter of the Mayor and municipality of Marseilles to the President is received and the inclosed is a letter to them from myself in answer, the subject falling within my department. I fear the apprehensions of the Barbary cruisers will lessen much the supplies you might otherwise have...
2To Alexander Hamilton from William Ellery, 6 November 1792 (Hamilton Papers)
I have recd. your circular letter of the 12th of the last month, and will pay a due regard to the request contained in the first paragraph thereof, and to your opinion on the case stated in the second. A Vessel bound to a foreign port is compelled by distress of weather to put into the port of Newport, and it is necessary in order to repair her, or to procure supplies for the crew; or because...
3From Thomas Jefferson to Jacob Hollingsworth, 6 November 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
You were so kind as to undertake to engage a particular person to overlook a farm for me in Virginia. Having heard nothing from you on the subject, and being anxious to know whether you have succeeded I take the liberty of asking you to drop me a line of information. I am with much esteem Sir your most obedt servt PrC ( MHi ); at foot of text: “Mr. Hollingsworth”; with date corrected by TJ...
4From Thomas Jefferson to David Humphreys, 6 November 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
We have never known so long an interval during which there has not been a single vessel going to Lisbon. Hence it is that I am so late in acknoleging the receipt of your letters from No. 54. to 58. inclusive, and that I am obliged to do it by the way of London, and consequently cannot send you the newspapers as usual. The summer has been chiefly past in endeavoring to bring the North-Western...

Mr. Willm. Weston who is engaged to conduct the inland navigation in the State of Pensylvania and purposes sailing in the Packet having called for my commands, I forward by him the Leyden Gazettes received since my last.

6To Thomas Jefferson from John Garland Jefferson, 6 November 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
I arrived in this place a day ago, in company with Mr. Peter and Samuel Carr, who I believe are on their way to Williamsburg. In consequence of a letter written to you a fortnight, or three weeks since, I expected to have found one in the office for me, but upon enquiry found none. The subject of my letter to you, was a request for money, or an order for money enough to supply myself with...
7From James Madison to James Madison, Sr., 6 November 1792 (Madison Papers)
I arrived here safe on thursday last. On enquiry I could learn nothing of Majr. Hite or Mr. Beale. I have since found that the latter was here; but he went off before I had an opportunity of seeing him. This failure makes me at a loss whether I shd. pursue the attempt to convey the articles you wished to go with Majr. Hite’s goods; look out for another conveyance; or postpone the sending them...

10Address to the United States Senate and House of Representatives, 6 November 1792 (Washington Papers)
Fellow-Citizens of the Senate, and House of Representatives. It is some abatement of the satisfaction, with which I meet you on the present occasion, that in felicitating you on a continuance of the National prosperity generally, I am not able to add to it information that the Indian hostilities, which have, for some time past, distressed our North Western frontier, have terminated. You will,...
