1From George Washington to Thomas Jefferson, 19 November 1792 (Washington Papers)

Even those of the 3d of Novr 1780—tho’ quite unnecessary, might pass with an explanatory note on the then value of our paper currency. It probably is best to [leave] out the scored part of No. 1,...

5From Thomas Jefferson to William Fitzhugh, 19 November 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
In some letter, or in some conversation, it runs in my head that you conveyed an intimation to me that if I should be disposed to part with Tarquin you would rather wish to possess him again.
