2From Alexander Hamilton to George Washington, 28 April 1794 (Hamilton Papers)
I should not advise a present reference to the Legislature on the subject of the application of the loan; as under the circumstances of that body at this moment much debate would probably ensue and perhaps no decision. I am the less induced to advise this step; as the expedient itself will be hereafter practicable, if it shall appear to be necessary. It will be some time before the proceeds of...

Inclosed are communications from the Collector of this Port & from Mr. Seton of New York respecting a vessel for your accommodation.

4From Thomas Jefferson to William Nelson, Jr., 28 April 1794 (Jefferson Papers)
I received a few days ago your favor of the 4th. instant . Having had occasion, while in my late office, to enquire into the situation of the boundary between our SouthWestern territory and Kentuckey and to make a Report on it to the President to be laid before Congress, it became of course necessary for me to recur to the boundary between this state and Carolina , the extension of this being...

I have recd. yours of the 3d. instant. I have already informed you of my having forwarded you the French Edition of Milton red. from E. R. Cortez’s letters are not come to hand.

I do myself the honor of submitting to your consideration the draught of a letter, intended as an answer to Mr Hammond’s reply to Mr Pinckney’s memorial on the instructions of the 6th of November 1793. The inclosed letter from Colo. Hamilton shews, that he has perused the draught; and upon the three first remarks contained in that letter I will either satisfy him, or abandon my own idea. The...
9To George Washington from Edmund Randolph, 28 April 1794 (Washington Papers)
With the change of the word “ embassy, ” which is a technical term for a particular diplomatic order, for “ mission, ” which is a general one; I cannot see the possible necessity for another alteration in the letter to Mr L—g—n. I sincerely believe, that Mr P——y would be agreeable to France; tho’ not so agreeable as Mr L——n. The arrangement of Mr J—y, as resident in London, might be a...

Le Peuple généreux et hospitalier des Etats Unis de L’amérique; l’acceuil qu’ils en ont reçu a passé leurs espérances, et jamais ne s’effacera ni...
