Mr Mulligan will have the honor of seeing you in Phila. & promised to deliver this letter personally. It incloses 200 Dolls, which I have been indebted to you a most unconscionable length of time. When Mr Childs was in Phila. about a year ago, he was commissioned by me (having then the needful of my property) to discharge my pecuniary obligations to you.

9Timothy Pickering to Tobias Lear, 14 January 1793 (Washington Papers)
The inclosed letter from Samuel Freeman Esqr. of Portland I should have presented long ago: but laying it by in my desk very safely, it has been overlooked. Perhaps it may now be of no consequence. Possibly you may know Mr Freeman. He has written to me in consequence of an acquaintance formed by his being the postmaster at Portland. I take him to be of a very respectable character there; and...
10To George Washington from Jonathan Rhea, 14 January 1793 (Washington Papers)
If my zeal and I hope faithfull services during the late Revolution, my exertions in detecting the treachery of Depeyster, and what I then and still do believe to have been an intended assassination, entitules me to the liberty of recommending, or the soliciting a favor, if it can be granted with propriety, I shall beg leave to ask the appointment of my brother James Rhea to the commission of...

13To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 14 January 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
I have just heard it stated here that the suspension of the payments to France was in the first instance by Mr. Short before the commencement of Mr. Morris’s service and without orders from this place and that the latter only conformed to a rule shewn him, implicating strongly that there never had been any direction from this quarter on the subject. This statement was given by Cabot upon an...
14From Thomas Jefferson to James Monroe, 14 January 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
I am a stranger to the instructions given to Mr. Short on the subject of money, the correspondence thereon having been [direct?] between the Sec. of the Treasury and him, without any mediary. Neither do I know whether any authority was given or not to G. Morris on that subject. The payment of the 19th. of Aug. was made in consequence of a letter from G. Morris as I have reason to believe....
