A Neighbour of ours Captain Richard Beal is going this week to sail for England, and I do not know a more direct conveyance to you. the Communication between America and Holland is not half so frequent, as with England.

5From George Washington to George Mathews, 10 June 1796 (Washington Papers)
The best, indeed the only excuse I can make for having so long delayed complying with the request of your favor written the 7th of March is, that when it came to hand (which was not speedily after its date) the business of the session pressed so heavily on me, that I had but little leisure for other attentions; and by laying it by, to be taken up at a more convenient moment, it, in a jumble...
6To George Washington from Matthew McAllister, 10 June 1796 (Washington Papers)
I have reason to suppose the Judge of this District purposes resigning provided a more eligible situation shall present itself. Should that event take place, or any other by which the office he holds may become vacant, I beg leave to suggest my inclination to succeed him, in case it shall meet your approbation. This intimation, Sir, would certainly have been withheld but from a conjecture that...

The letter to Governor Blount by the same person I understand is gone to Tenessee. It would seem that Montflorence had his information at Paris. The reflexions which he...

Colo. Pickering will attend to the Suggestion of Mr McHenry, & then return the letter, directed to Colo. T. Blount back, as requested. If there are any authorities which can be consulted on the remonstrance of Mr Vear, it might be well to have recourse to them. The opinion I gave was from what I conceive to be consistent with propriety and us⟨ mutilated ⟩ but, though I have no reason to...
9To George Washington from Timothy Pickering, 10 June 1796 (Washington Papers)
I inclose draughts of instructions for Mr Trumbull and Colo. Talbot. The latter will not be able to sail for the West Indies until about the 20th of July. Reflecting on Mr Trumbull’s situation in England, and the nature of the service to be performed there, I have not a doubt but that 2500 dollars will be a satisfactory compensation. I mentioned to his brother Jonathan £500. Sterling, who did...
