1From John Adams to Timothy Pickering, 23 September 1799 (Adams Papers)
I return you Mr. Murrays letters of May 28. June 13 & 22d, July 13 & 15 & the parts of newspapers inclosed with them. The private letter you sent me from Mr Murray, sometime ago, contained much such a review of the pamphlet of Boulay de la Meurthe. I have been anxious to see it, but it is not yet arrived. A parrallel between the English republic & the French must be a curious thing. I have...
2To Thomas Jefferson from Daniel Call, 23 September 1799 (Jefferson Papers)
The Chancellor gave judgment to day in your suit against Henderson—He grants a perpetual injunction to building the mill dam, orders the present nusance to be abated and the testimony of Morgan to be perpetuated. But there is one unlucky circumstance in the business; namely, that two of the dfts appear to live out of the State and have never been served with a Copy of the order taking the Bill...

4To Alexander Hamilton from Nehemiah Freeman, 23 September 1799 (Hamilton Papers)
I have the honour to acknowledge the receit of orders, received this day from you, on the subject of two men, who have been sick of the yellow fever at the powder magazine. I deem it very unfortunate that at the moment, in which I have been anxious to show my attention to duty and respect to humanity, any circumstance could have taken place, that would tend to an impediment in either. I have...

6From Alexander Hamilton to Walter L. Cochran, 23 September 1799 (Hamilton Papers)
I had taken it for granted that a General Order of the 29th of May directing returns of Clothing &c to be Addressed to Col. Stevens had been transmitted to the Commandant of Fort Mifflin. You will please to inform Me whether such a General Order has not been received at the fort— I have however sent the return to Col. Stevens and requested him to take the necessary measures for furnishing the...
7From Alexander Hamilton to George Washington, 23 September 1799 (Hamilton Papers)
I had the pleasure of receiving in due time your letter of the 15th. instant. The suggestions it contains will be maturely weighed. I postpone any thing definitive, till the return of General Wilkinson which is momently expected. The other Documents, besides No. 8, which accompanied this letter, were not material to the consideration of its contents, or they would have been forwarded. Even...

9From Alexander Hamilton to James McHenry, 23 [September] 1799 (Hamilton Papers)
I send you a Statement of Ammunition which I think it will be expedient to furnish for the use of the Artillery intended to be forwarded to Fort Adams. It is far short, of the quantity requisite for a six months siege; but considering, that there must be more or less of danger in the mode of Conveyance, and the general State of our supply, it is supposed best not to exceed for the quantity...
10From Alexander Hamilton to Thomas Parker, 2[3] September 1799 (Hamilton Papers)
It is contemplated to establish the Eighth Ninth and Tenth Regiments in Winter Quarters somewhere in the Vicinity of the Potowmack and near Harpurs Ferry. As this station is within the territorial limits of General Pinckneys Command, the providing of quarters there did not fall within my province. But very urgent circumstances having suddenly induced General Pinckney to proceed to Rhode...
