3To Alexander Hamilton from Tench Coxe, 4 October 1794 (Hamilton Papers)
You will receive by this express a copy of a letter to me from Mr. Gale. A letter has been sent from your Office, from Col. Carrington to you a copy is enclosed. Major Hodgdon whom I have seen, assured me 5 or 6000 blankets have gone forward; the last this day. Ten bales containing as he supposed 1600 more have arrived from N. York, & are in good time, as he could not get more off than have...
4From Alexander Hamilton to Henry Lee, 4 October [1794] (Hamilton Papers)
There is something about our friend Smith that perplexes and distresses me. I cannot suppose any thing wrong yet it is certain that he has done nothing but paint black from the beginning. However the force of Maryland may be suffered to melt away it is a consolation that a sufficient force will be had elsewhere. Smith is mistaken when he supposes Pensylvania will do nothing. She has now on the...

7To George Washington from Edmund Randolph, 4 October 1794 (Washington Papers)
No public dispatches, or public events have appeared, since I had the honor of writing to you yesterday. Mr Brown, the senator of Kentucky, who has been in town about three days, called upon me yesterday. He was not explicit, whether he had received letters from the western army; but I am convinced from the manner of his sounding me to discover, if I was prepared to listen with indulgence to...

Sa lecture vous fera juger suffisamment combien est praticable et pressant l’établissement que j’ai proposé à la Virginie ou plutot que je sollicite d’elle en faveur des malheureux Genevois.

9Enclosure: François D’Ivernois’s Third Letter on the Genevan Revolution, 4 October [1794] (Jefferson Papers)
The Symptoms of mildness which the Revolution of Geneva seemed to assume, have soon given place to it’s original character, viz that of pillage. Scarcely had the conspiracy of the Montagnards been discovered; Scarcely had the Revolutionary Tribunal been compelled to punish it’s authors (who declared before they went to punishment, that they had done nothing which their very judges had not...
