1John Adams to Charles Adams, 10 March 1794 (Adams Papers)
Your Letter of Yesterdays Date has given me much Pleasure. I recognize in it, my own son. Your Language to the Gentleman was manly and your sentiments independent. Col. Smiths Aberrations from the true system of his Country have given me great Uneasiness. You must let me know in Confidence, the Name of the Gentleman. Every Citizen has a right to think, speak and Act for himself in his own...
2From George Washington to John Gwinn, 10 March 1794 (Washington Papers)
In due course of Post I was favoured with your letter of the 25th of Jany, with the deed which it enclosed from Colo. Mercer & others, to me. This deed refers to a Survey of the Manor of Woodstock (in the year 1782) and to a division thereof made by Hezekiah Veatch, assistant Surveyor of Montgomery County, on the ⟨2⟩d day of January 1793. The latter (in the body of the deed) is said to be...
3From George Washington to William Herbert, 10 March 1794 (Washington Papers)
The only unsettled matter in my administration of the estate of Colo. Thos Colvill, is a bond of one Sidney George, of Maryland. A Mr Chalme⟨rs⟩ (now of London) who was directed to institute a suit in chancery in this case, & who has been written to on the subject, thinks, as he was in the habit of corrisponding with Colo. Carlyle about that time (1774) there may be found some letter of his,...
4From George Washington to Robert Townsend Hooe, 10 March 1794 (Washington Papers)
To the best of my recollection, when you paid me for my flour of last year, you asked the refusal of it this year. By the report from my Mill, I perceive about 3,000 bushels of Wheat has been manufactured; but how much flour it has made, and of what sort, I am yet to learn. If you incline to purchase what there is, let me know the best price you will give; or to make the matter short, and to...
5To James Madison from Hubbard Taylor, 10 March 1794 (Madison Papers)
I wrote you in February and inclosed you some publications of the Democratic Society of this State, and hope they got safe to hand. At that time I thought the remonstrance would have met with a great majority of signers, but now think differently. Altho’ there are but few (if any) but most ardently wishes for the grand object the Mississippi yet many think the remonstrance couched in too harsh...
6From James Madison to James Madison, Sr., 10 March 1794 (Madison Papers)
Yours of Feby. 17. came to hand some days ago. I have applied to Carr, and obtained the inclosed account of his Forte-Piano’s. The grand ones are as large as a Harpsichord & of the same form. The small ones would not occupy more room than a common square dining table with the leaves down. The advantage of the large ones consists in the superior swell of the Notes. But on this point Fanny can...
7From George Washington to John Francis Mercer, 10 March 1794 (Washington Papers)
I have lately received from Mr Gwinn clerk of the Genl Court at Annapolis a Deed which has been enrolled in that Office from yourself & lady, Doctr Stuart and lady & Miss Sprigg, to me. As this is not the deed which you and Mrs Mercer executed in Philadelphia, and nearly a year posterior in date, I am at a loss to acct for these changes; & should be glad to be informed of the reasons which...
8From John Adams to Thomas Seymour, 10 March 1794 (Adams Papers)
I received this morning your Letter of the 26th of February, and while I feel for you under the Misfortune of your gallant son, I regret that it should be so little in my Power to assist him, in obtaining Some Consolation for this honourable Wound in the Service of his Country. The request you make is however easily granted, and if any Thing Should be done in the House of Representatives I...
9Abigail Adams to Abigail Adams Smith, 10 March 1794 (Adams Papers)
Although the scenes in which I have been engaged for six weeks past, have been very different from those which you describe, I have been amused and entertained by your account. Though I cannot say that I am charmed with your hero’s personal accomplishments, as you describe them, yet you find I think our ladies ought to be cautious of foreigners. I am almost led to suspect a spy in every...
10From George Washington to William Tilghman, 10 March 1794 (Washington Papers)
Your favor of the 1st instt with its enclosures, I have duly received. I shall, by this days Post, write to the representative of Colo. Carlyle (agreeably to the suggestion in Mr Chalmers’ letter) to know if he (Mr Herbert) can throw any light upon the payment of £100 which Mr Chalmers conceives he must have made, on acct of Mr Sidney George’s Bond. When I receive the answer it shall be...
